[Python-modules-team] Bug#948162: python-peak.util: should this package be removed?

[Sandro Tosi]

Source: python-peak.util
Severity: serious

Hello,
this package recently became a leaf pkg and it's currently python2-only; looking
at how it's made of, it appears it's a combination of modules:


Module             Current  Latest     py3k
                   Version  Available  available?
--------------------------------------------------------
addons             0.7      0.7        some py3k support
bytecodeassembler  0.6      0.6.1      no
extremes           1.1.1    1.1.1      yes
proxies            0.9      0.10.0     yes
symboltype         1.0      1.0        yes

What are the plans for this package? they mostly leave at the new upstream
location on github https://github.com/PEAK-Legacy which says "Projects from the
Python Enterprise Application Kit that are not actively in development, or have
been discontinued. Most are Python 2-only."

Should we just go ahead and remove this package, since there are no more Debian
packages depending on it?

If i dont hear back within a week with a good reason to keep this package
around, i'll file for its removal.

Regards,
Sandro
