That's also what pavel did in his submission - so we're definitely going this way. Now all the pieces of the puzzle need to be upgraded/tested altogether. Ie: - new dependencies of twisted imported (4 or 6 new ports?) - the 'new' twisted layout needs to be imported - and the ports using it need to be tested/updated to work with it (or be removed). > As for the various divmod packages (py-epsilon, py-nevow, py-axiom) that > depends > on twisted, I think they are dead and they can be removed. Well, those arent really "dead" since they were "adopted" by upstream twisted (under https://github.com/twisted), they just need to change upstream if we want to keep them, or remove them if they're unused/useless.
