[Python-modules-team] Potential removal - python-irc

[Iain R. Learmonth]

Hi,

I've been taking a look through the QA team's packages and I found the
version of python-irc in unstable to be considerably behind the upstream
version.

I understand that the reason this cannot be updated is a new dependency has
been introduced that will require packaging an additional Python library.

Only three packages in Debian appear to depend on python-irc:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dependent maintainers for python-irc:
Ben Armstrong <synrg at sanctuary.nslug.ns.ca> (xpilot-ng-common)
Debian Python Modules Team <python-modules-team at lists.alioth.debian.org> (python-cobe)
Debian Multimedia Maintainers <pkg-multimedia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org> (idjc)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not familiar with these packages that are depending on python-irc, but
if you would like to continue to have them depend on python-irc, please
update bug #730084.

As this package is now almost 2 years behind upstream and has been orphaned
for a considerable time, I may request removal of this package unless I hear
otherwise from you.

Thanks,
Iain.
