Hi, www-apps/nikola was now moved away from python project and unmasked.
For reference, www-apps/nikola is heavily in use by the Gentoo e.V. in Germany (surprising when you watch git log, not?). Gentoo e.V. is also running Gentoo stable and Python 3.6 is the current stable version. Python 3.7 will become the successor but isn't yet... so please calm down regarding "But it doesn't support Py 3.7+ yet". We will add that support in future when time permits. The main problem is that Python project has decided to ignore common rules and established a new disruptive way to tackle current problems. I don't say that it isn't a problem that pyt...@gentoo.org became maintainer of thousands of package the project never wanted. I don't have a solution for that problem but I would suggest to start with a honest mask like > Packages mask for removal because Python project no longer > wants to maintain these packages This is without any judgment. It's just a fact. But please stop spreading FUD that these packages are blocking, outdated or not well maintained. So if Python project has decided to go the disruptive road (yes, I am aware that we don't have a better mechanism like setting a mask to get attention), you have to deal with the fact that this is disruptive and that not everyone like that. But please, nobody is publicly shaming anyone. If you play that card, don't wonder that people will stop talking. Don't read too much into everything. -- Regards, Thomas Deutschmann / Gentoo Linux Developer C4DD 695F A713 8F24 2AA1 5638 5849 7EE5 1D5D 74A5
