For those receiving this message out of context with only a bug number
(for example via a Python team subscription on tracker.debian.org like I
did), the affected packages are listed below. Kenneth, please could you
include the name of the affected package in any subsequent mass-bug-filing
or multi-package mails?

Any DD can log in to coccia.debian.org, aka mirror.ftp-master.debian.org,
to get information from `dak rm --no-action` - but this is not particularly
well-documented, so I'm sending how I got the information rather than
just the information itself, in an attempt to pass on this knowledge.

Thanks,
smcv

Bug#881544: Epydoc will be removed

2019-07-31 Thread Kenneth Pronovici 
Hi,

This is still one of 20+ packages in the archive that depend on
Epydoc.  I have filed a bug with ftp.debian.org to have epydoc removed
from unstable, and that can't proceed while this package still uses
epydoc as a build dependency.  As a result, I have increased the
severity of this bug to serious.

As I find the time, I will be working through all of the remaining
reverse dependencies.  When I get to this package, I will NMU a
version that removes the build dependency.  I will accomplish this by
simply not building the API documentation.  I will not provide any
other notice of my pending NMU.

Thanks,

KEN

Bug#881544: Epydoc will be removed after buster

2019-06-11 Thread Kenneth Pronovici 
I intend to have the eypdoc package removed from unstable a few weeks after
buster is released. Besides its lack of support for Python 3, epydoc has
been completely unsupported upstream for close to a decade.  It really
should have been removed from the archive years ago.

If you are in the process of migrating and simply need more time, please
reply to this bug and we can come to some sort of arrangement.  Otherwise,
I'm going to have the package removed as planned.  Once the package is
removed, your best short-term solution is to just stop building API
documentation until you find time to convert to another tool.

Thanks,

KEN
