Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
I'd like to request the removal of the source package scapy3k from unstable. This forms part of a transition plan to build Python 3 binary packages from the src:scapy package. Bugs #889939 and #889938 have some of the story on this. I understand that some users may have built tools using functionality that is not present in secdev/scapy's codebase, but there are no tools that I have seen in Debian (as packaged in the archive, currently in unstable) that depend on such functionality. At a later time, should scapy3k be renamed or should there be a general consensus that it's a good thing to do regardless, scapy3k will be reintroduced to Debian and I volunteer now to do that packaging work. If you'd like to read more of the story behind this, see the following GitHub issues: https://github.com/secdev/scapy/issues/657 https://github.com/phaethon/scapy/issues/231 Thanks, Iain.
