(Please keep debian-science-sagem...@lists.alioth.debian.org in Cc) Hi,
so the transition freeze is on November 5 and we would like to get ipython 5 (and Jupyter) into unstable. It has been in experimental for a while. There are two categories of ipython reverse dependencies: The ones that depend only on ipython and/or ipython3, and the ones that also depend on packages that do not exist anymore in this form in ipython 5, ipython(3)-notebook and ipython(3)-qtconsole. Below is a list of all these reverse dependencies. I just built all the ones (except one, which I will try later) that have a reverse dependency only on ipython(3) successfully against ipython 5.1.0-1. Since there were no problems at all, I hope the packages that have only a simple dependency on ipython can also be assumed to work with the new version. I would suggest we should file a transition bug against release.debian.org very soon, to get the advice of the release team on how to proceed. Then we should also very soon file bugs against the packages that depend on ipython(3)-notebook and/or ipython(3)-qtconsole, so that the maintainers can hopefully help us find solutions. These packages are: glueviz, lmfit-py, plotly, sardana, vistrails Snark, do you want to file the bugs? Here's the list: # Build-Depend only on ipython / ipython3: ipdb builds with ipython 5.1.0-1 matplotlib builds with ipython 5.1.0-1 nova builds with ipython 5.1.0-1 patsy builds with ipython 5.1.0-1 pysurfer builds with ipython 5.1.0-1 python-cycler builds with ipython 5.1.0-1 python-geopandas builds with ipython 5.1.0-1 python-skbio builds with ipython 5.1.0-1 sfepy builds with ipython 5.1.0-1 yade not tried yet (one attempt took too long) # Build-Depend on ipython(3)-notebook or ipython(3)-qtconsole: glueviz: ipython (>= 2.3.0) ipython3 (>= 2.3.0) ipython3-qtconsole (>= 2.3.0) lmfit-py: ipython-notebook ipython3-notebook plotly: ipython-notebook (>= 2.3.0) ipython3-notebook (>= 2.3.0) # Depend only on ipython / ipython3: accerciser: accerciser androguard: androguard connectomeviewer: connectomeviewer ipdb: python-ipdb python3-ipdb plaso: plaso pytango: python-pytango python3-pytango python-pypump: pypump-shell python-skbio: python-skbio python3-skbio rabbitvcs: rabbitvcs-core sfepy: python-sfepy woo: python-woo python3-woo yade: yade # Depend on ipython(3)-notebook or ipython(3)-qtconsole: glueviz: glueviz: ipython3 ipython3-qtconsole sardana: python-sardana: ipython ipython-qtconsole vistrails: vistrails: ipython-qtconsole Best, Tobias
