I'm assuming you're talking about backporting individual fixes when you say "backports", and not about "stretch-backports" or any of the other repos described at https://backports.debian.org/, since the stuff at backports.d.o is really not supposed to be a security fix channel. I'm not sure how a change in the packaging in debian unstable would affect our ability to backport specific fixes > Please make such decision not by your preference but with consensus. I asked over on py3porters-devel and only got a response from Scott Kitterman, who doesn't seem to think that this is an outright wrong thing to do, but thinks that it's a distraction, because he doesn't seem to care about anything that is not in debian: https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/py3porters-devel/Week-of-Mon-20180212/thread.html https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/py3porters-devel/Week-of-Mon-20180219/thread.html So, how should we measure consensus? > Having said this, I will let you have commit access. thanks -- i have commit access anyway because any DD has commit access to projects in the debian/ namespace, but i wouldn't want to use it anyway without your blessing, since you're the maintainer. > YES #!/usr/bin/python2 > > This fix can be applied... I've pushed a few minor changes, including this change, to the master branch. I've also pushed a new branch called to-python2.7 so that we have something concrete to consider when asking about consensus on the dependency change. It works for me, and i can now purge python from a machine without having to remove getmail. --dkg
