there are currently 2 source packages: astroid: on the 1.x branch, builds python-astroid and python3-astroid pylint: on the 1.x branch, builds pylint (depends on python-astroid), pylint3 (depends on python3-astroid), pylint-doc
the only way forward to keep compat with python2 while supporting 3.7 i see is: astroid: uses the 2.x branch, builds only python3-astroid pylint: uses the 2.x branch, builds only pylint3, pylint-doc NEW astroid2: remains on the 1.x branch, builds only python-astroid NEW pylint2: remains on the 1.x branch, builds only pylint (depending on python-astroid) astroid2 and pylint2 will be dropped after buster is released, keeping only astroid and pylint in bullseye adding ftpmasters in the loop as a headsup since this plan would require a bit of coordination to reduce users disruption during the migration of the bin pkgs from one src pkg to the new ones. what people feel about it? just to make it clear: i'm not really excited about the package duplication, although it's the only viable solution i can see for now. comments/suggestions welcome -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SandroTosi
