Re: [Zope-dev] The future of Zope{2, 3} and Plone in Debian and Ubuntu
2009/6/24 Fabio Tranchitella kob...@kobold.it: Hello, Hi Fabio :) We already have python2.5 and python2.6 and Python 3.0 and... we have to provide security support for all the packages, and supporting three different versions of python is too much work. Is it possible to keep Python 2.4 with a warning like we don't provide support on this version ? BTW, thank you for your work! -- Sebastien Douche sdou...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Also experimental fits this it's known to work with version 2.x status - so nobody will really relay on it and it leaves an easy door to come back if Zope 2.12 really works with Python 2.5/2.6. But maintaining old versions is always work you do not really want to do and nobody in the Zope team deserves extra unwanted work - thanks for all the work in the previous years! So we just have to find somebody who is actually doing the work and usually before droping a package comes orphaning a package. This perfectly selects people who *really* *really* want to keep the package - they just grab it up and do not ask others to do the work for them. So I would propose as an alternative way which gives interested people a chance to take over: Instead of asking for removal orphan the package and use experimental as target distribution for the QA maintained package. This is a de factor removal because these packages have no chance to enter any testing distribution (because of missing dependency Python 2.4 and thus will also stay away from stable. But if there might be a maintainer (team) which really grabs up the task to maintain future Zope 2.x versions I see no reason to not give them a chance for some time. Kind regards - and as I said, thanks for your work on it Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

This is possible, indeed, and I like your idea of orphaning the packages bug keeping them around.
