Bug#730869: Please upgrade python-pywcs from 1.11 to 1.10.1 or better
Package: python-pywcs Version: 1.11-1 Severity: wishlist Judging from the upstream svn repository, development of this package is continuing on the 1.10 branch. Trunk setup.cfg currently has version = 1.10.3.dev Version 1.11 is based on svn r2432, version 1.10.1 (tag pywcs.release_1.10.1) on the much newer r3298. Some dependent packages (not yet in Debian but available through pypi.python.org) build-depend on lib/pywcs/hooks.py (r3164) which is not available on the 1.11 branch. Version 1.10.2 can be found on the release_2013-03 branch; changes were merged back into trunk at r3530. I have been unable to find either a 1.11 maintenance or a 1.12 development branch. I did find a statement at https://trac.assembla.com/astrolib concerning future direction for this package and (somewhat ambiguously) identifying 1.10 as the current version. I note in passing that the Source URL in the copyright file now leads to a request to [p]lease update your bookmarks to point directly at the AstroLib Trac Wiki page, accompanied by a broken hyperlink. Surely one can do better than that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

https://trac.assembla.com/astrolib#pywcs calls the current release as 1.10-4.7, but the source links to 1.11-4.8.2, which is the base I use here and which I would still consider as current. Another history is given in docs.astropy.org/en/stable/wcs/history.html which marks 1.11 as the current version. However the idea of astropy is to replace the independent packages. If a new package from pypi is going to be included in Debian and depends on new features, I would strongly recommend to port it to astropy, which should be quite easy: just replace import pywcs with import astropy.wcs as pywcs (and similarly for pyfits, if needed). So, I would not see a big need to downgrade to 1.10. However, if you can backport the changes needed, I will happily create a patched 1.11 version.
