Package: python-tg.devtools
Version: 2.0.2-5
Severity: important

Hi Doko!

It looks like repoze.what and repoze.what-plugins are not actively maintained
upstream, and repoze.who >= 2 is breaking its API, making repoze.what
incompatible with it.

repoze.what needs repoze.who-plugins to build.

I would like to get rid of repoze.what, repoze.who-plugins &
repoze.what-plugins in Debian, as it would be too hard to continue to
maintain it without upstream support.

Note that this issue is blocking python-pysaml2 to migrate to Testing, as
it depends on repoze.who who itself can't migrate to Testing because of
repoze.what depending on repoze.who < 1.99. So I'd like to have the situation
fixed asap, so that the last remaining OpenStack (Liberty release) can migrate
to testing (so I could start doing the uploads to jessie-backports).

I haven't investigated how hard it would be to get rid of repoze.what in
tg.devtools. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts about it.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
