Obsoleting would infer that the Python2 version hangs around in some way. That would defeat the object somewhat. Most leaf packages will be binaries, so the binary can just change to Python3. If there's a Python2 module or other support package, just drop it. Put an entry in NEWS if you think people may have out-of-distro scripts using the Python2 module. Otherwise, a note in README.Debian or just debian/changelog is probably enough. It's fairly obvious when a Python leaf binary moves to Python3 support. As long it continues to work, most users aren't going to even notice. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
