Package: python-debian
Version: 0.1.15
Severity: normal
Hello,
thanks for python-debian. I appreciate the importance of dropping the
"_bundle" bit. However, the way it has been done is causing trouble: see
#573935.
update-apt-xapian-index is run on a cronjob every week. Such warnings
spam people. I added this code to prevent it, because python-apt was
introducing about 2 new deprecation warnings every week, and warnings
are useful in the terminal when you are developing, but don't belong in
a cron job in production system:
if options.quiet:
aptprogress = AptSilentProgress()
progress = SilentProgress()
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore","")
However, much to my desperation, python-debian prints the warning in
this way:
sys.stderr.write("WARNING: the 'debian_bundle' package is *DEPRECATED*; "
"use the 'debian' package\n")
the same happens, grep told me, in deb822.py:
print >> sys.stderr, "WARNING:", \
"the 'deb822' top-level module is *DEPRECATED*,", \
"please use 'debian.deb822'"
Besides this, in the last 4 months all the time I could possibly
dedicate to apt-xapian-index has been spent chasing deprecation warnings
being introduced all of a sudden and out of the blue by dependencies.
At least a mail to the reverse dependencies warning of things before the
deprecation is introduced would have been really, really appreciated.
Ciao,
Enrico
