Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Control: unblock 936624 by 936869
Hello.
Please remove these packages from unstable:
libgnatcoll-python:src
libgnatcoll-python19
libgnatcoll-python19-dev
I am the maintainer of libgnatcoll-bindings and libgnatcoll-python.
The normal situation is that
the libgnatcoll-bindings source package produces
libgnatcoll-${COMPONENT}{SOVERSION} and
libgnatcoll-${COMPONENT}{ALIVERSION}-dev
for various COMPONENTs including python.
A few years ago, the python component was ready for both python2&3,
but its only reverse dependency gnat-gps was requiring python2.
As a temporary measure, the separate libgnatcoll-python source package
was introduced. This allowed the other components to be updated in
testing, while the python(2) component and gnat-gps were RC-buggy in
unstable (#936869 and #936624 respectively).
Nowadays
* gnat-gps has been RC-buggy for a while.
It depends on libgnatcoll-python18 that no one is building anymore.
* If/when we manage to rebuild gnat-gps, latest upstream version is
ready for python3. Hence the unblock command above.
There is no need for a separate package anymore, so
libgnatcoll-bindings builds the python(3) component again.
libgnatcoll-python3.1
libgnatcoll-python3.1-dev
These fully replace the removed packages.
Thanks.
