What delay? Because pysupport is not deprecated, using pysupport is not a bug. If you think pysupport *should* be deprecated, that case has yet to be made AFAIK. -- \ “I thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then | `\ I thought ‘Why should I?

Are there disadvantages of deprecating it right now (for Wheezy release)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

File bugs on all packages using it. Remove it and anything still depending on it. The maintainer is responsible for declaring it is deprecated. Personally I've always wondered why a Debian-specific helper should be needed instead of python upstream behaving the way we wanted. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

We should only add a Lintian warning to tell the packager of a *pre-existing* deprecation. The deprecation itself isn't a matter of changing Lintian, but of someone authoritative for Python policy saying that pysupport is deprecated.

Those are not mutually exclusive :-) The helper is needed to make our packages more sensible, while we continue to advocate for upstream behaving the way we want. -- \ “The right to use [strong cryptography] is the right to speak | `\ Navajo.” —Eben Moglen | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
