[Python-modules-team] Bug#823121: RM: scitools -- RoQA; RC buggy, inactive upstream, Depends on to-be-removed packages

[Bas Couwenberg]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove scitools from unstable.

scitools hasn't had a new upload since 2014, and upstream hasn't
releases since 2012.

Removing scitools from unstable will unblock the removal of python-scientific.

python-scientific is incompatible with numpy 1.9 and hasn't seen any
upstream activity since 2014.

python-scientific is keeping the old netcdf (1:4.1.3-7.2) in unstable
which is causing testing migration problems for every new revising since
the transition in October 2015.

Kind Regards,

Bas
