The current package is pretty widely used: Reverse-Recommends ================== * bauble * bley * griffith * papercut * pwman3 * pyaimt * pyicqt * python-adodb * python-authkit * python-scrapy * python-springpython * python-sqlkit * python-tornado * python-webpy Reverse-Depends =============== * auth2db * bauble * blogofile-converters * djagios * emma * epigrass * neutron-common * openmolar * python-biopython-sql * python-ceilometer * python-cinder * python-designate * python-glance * python-heat * python-keystone * python-mysqldb-dbg * python-nova * python-trove * rddmarc * viewvc-query * zope-mysqlda I'd suggest not just replacing it. How about call your package python- mysqlclient (as you had originally intended I believe) and have it conflict with python-mysqldb (since they both provide the same interface, conflicts is appropriate). Maintainers can decide which they prefer and if we get a strong consensus for Stretch, then we can remove python-mysqldb and have python- mysqlclient provide it. I think this way would be much friendlier and lower risk. Scott K -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
