Package: sopel Version: 6.6.2-1 Severity: grave Sopel, in stable and testing right now, cannot provide a "help" to its users. It makes it really hard to use (hence the "grave" severity). I'm also marking this as grave because upstream keeps on churning out "patch" releases (according to semver) that are really "minor" releases (according to semver again), so they are not suitable for stable updates. For example right now there is 6.6.4 release that fixes this bug:
https://sopel.chat/changelog/6.6.4/ ... but it also includes changes like: * Cleaned up code in instagram and unicode modules * Core modules now use bot.channels instead of deprecated bot.privileges Which couldn't be eligible for a stable update. Because I do not want to maintain a fork of 6.6.3 the way I will probably have to do with 6.5.0 in stretch (argh), i think it's better to remove sopel from buster and maintain it from backports in the future (if at all). -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.8 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages sopel depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii python3 3.5.3-1 ii python3-geoip2 2.4.2+dfsg1-1 ii python3-praw 3.3.0-1 ii python3-requests 2.12.4-1 ii python3-tz 2016.7-0.3 ii python3-xmltodict 0.10.2-1 Versions of packages sopel recommends: ii ipython3 5.1.0-3 ii python3-enchant 1.6.7-1 ii python3-feedparser 5.1.3-3 ii python3-lxml 3.7.1-1 sopel suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/sopel.cfg changed [not included] -- no debconf information
