Public bug reported: >From what I can tell, idle is the only thing keeping tcl/tk in universe.
I think it's unnecessary as most Ubuntu developers use something other than idle to work on Python code. I came across this while working on LP: #1720482 (tk8.6 recommends xterm which is one thing that appears to keep xterm in main. I think the fix there is to explictly have recommends/depends on gnome- terminal for everything that recommends/depend on xterm in main.) idle is explicitly seeded in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/platform.bionic/view/head:/supported-development-desktop#L36 It was added in 2005: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/platform.bionic/revision/404 ** Affects: python3-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bionic ** Also affects: python3-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745634 Title: Demote idle to universe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1745634/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
