Hello Drew =)
I don't think python-qutip-core-doc is necessary.
There is already a python-qutip-doc package, and it's still the right
place for the core docs.
You are right, there is one `-doc` too much. Hmmm, in my concept it
would be better to drop `python-qutip-doc` as the last step of
migration (see below) and instead mark
* python-qutip-core-doc
Replaces: python-qutip-doc (<< 5.1.1-20)
Conflicts: python-qutip-doc (<< 5.1.1-20)
No, precisely the opposite. I'm saying it is not constructive to create
python-qutip-core-doc.
To migrate without having version issues, the idea is to implement the
packages step by step. I will mark in `python3-qutip-core` like
* python3-qutip-core
Replaces: python3-qutip (<< 5.1.1-20)
Conflicts: python3-qutip (<< 5.1.1-20)
So it should just possible to install one of them during migration.
Correction: I think here also a conflict required:
* python3-qutip
Replaces: python3-qutip-core (<< 5.1.1-20)
Conflicts: python3-qutip-core (<< 5.1.1-20)
No, it would be the other way around.
python3-qutip-core replaces and conflicts with the previous
python3-qutip.
If I have finished the packaging in the last step we can make
`python3-qutip` to a pure metapackage which
* python3-qutip
Depends: python3-qutip-core
Recommends: python3-qutip-{qip,qtrl,qoc},
Suggests: python-qutip-{qip,qtrl,qoc}-doc
That should be fine.
Plan to stage the upgrade in experimental first.
