Dear Python Team, Dear Piotr, As I was packaging Cloudkitty (that is: OpenStack rating of resources, typically used in a public cloud) for the next Xena release, I went into this chain of dependency:
cloudkitty: needs flask 2.0 Flask 2.0: needs werkeug 2.0, jinja2 3.0 jinja2: needs markupsafe 2.0 The thing is, markupsafe 2.0 looks like incompatible with Python 2 (when I removed Python 2 support in the package, it built fine). I currently have updated markupsafe and jinja2 packages in my laptop, (which IS removing Python 2 support). I'll soon have updates for the other 2 (if I don't hit any blockers). During the python BoF of the last Debconf, we decided to go ahead with full removal of Python 2, so doing this looks like a move to the right direction. Is it fine for everyone (including Piotr, who's the only marked uploader for these) if I upload these to Experimental right now (which is where I am uploading OpenStack Xena), and in Unstable after the 8th of October (when OpenStack Xena will be finally released)? I'm also aware that the packages I mentioned above are high profile (ie: used a lot in Debian), which is why I thought announcing my plan was a good idea (also so that Piotr can tell his opinion). Also Piotr, can I add myself as uploader for all of these? Your thoughts? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo) P.S: I do believe that uploading to Experimental is harmless (when we're not in freeze), so I may go ahead before getting a reply, and we can decide what to do together.
