[Python-apps-team] Bug#947338: cherrytree: should this package be removed?

[Sandro Tosi]

Source: cherrytree
Severity: serious

Hello,
i believe there are several issues with cherrytree:

- python2-only application
- depends on pygtk, deprecated
- depends on gtksourceview, deprecated
- upstream is rewriting it in C++, so there's no hope for a py3k port

i think it's time to remove it (and eventuall re-introduce it in Debian once the
C++ port is completed); if i dont hear back within a week with a good reason to
keep this package in Debian, i'll file for it's removal.

Regards,
Sandro
