Package: debian-policy Severity: normal The httpd-wsgi virtual name was added in response to #588497.
However, as per the following email: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/09/msg00719.html "WSGI is an API, not a wire protocol. The Python version of the WSGI server would also be the Python version the code is run under, so we must distinguish between Python 2 and 3. The best way would probably be to specify that httpd-wsgi is for Python 2 and create a httpd-wsgi3 virtual package for Python 3." This means, as currently written, Python2 packages that depend on httpd-wsgi might get a Python3 implementation of WSGI, which won't work. Similarly, Python3 packages that depend on httpd-wsgi might get a Python2 implementation of WSGI which also won't work. We need two virtual package names, one for Python2 and one for Python3. I raised this issue on debian-devel, but unfortunately got noreponse, so am raising it here. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
