[gentoo-dev] What to do when Python 2.5 is blocking your package from entering stable? (Agenda for next council meeting?)

[Samuli Suominen]

I don't know about you, but when a package can't be stabled because
it's depending on Python 2.5 and current stable is broken I'd like
to start reverting stable keywords back to ~arch as noone wants to
maintain broken junk. Latest being app-cdr/gtkcdlabel, and
media-video/gaupol. Perhaps it should be a council agenda?

Not much different from "slacking arches", it's simple, lack of
active devs. What I would prefer, of course, is a list from one of
python members to get it into stable but have no expetations, since
I've asked it many times past 1-2 years.

Unless there are any objections from the rest of the Python project, 
I'll try to get this done within the next 24 hours.

I think it's good to go.

There are a few things which need some kind of action before/during
python 2.5 stabilization:

Needs stabilization:
* dev-python/python-bibtext-1.2.3
* dev-python/pyvorbis-1.4-r3 (a bit buggy, debian has patches for 1.3,
some of them can be ported)
* tinyerp? http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31554
* dev-libs/xapian-1.0.6
* dev-libs/xapian-bindings-1.0.6
* dev-python/pygame-1.8.0 (buggy, I have patches from trunk, we might
want to wait to 1.8.1)
* dev-python/soappy-0.12.0 (bug #216385)

Needs fix:
* x11-misc/qterm (bug #216466)
* dev-db/rekall (bug #141068) - needs bump, probably this is going to
be p.masked and eventually removed from the tree

Hi,

 We have bug 178800, too.  Either mark individual stabilisation bugs
blocking it or add them to 178800 when ccing arches.
 And I don't think one or two packages should hold up that Python 2.5

Already done. #194810

This is m-needed and shouldn't prevent stabling. If anyone cares to fix
it we can work on a proxy-maint solution.

What's wrong with these? xapian-bindings builds fine here with python
enabled using python-2.5 and I couldn't find a related bug report.

I couldn't find a bug report related to this either. Care to submit a
bug report with the patches?

We need ppc and x86 teams to stable 0.5.2.

I think we can get it stable before the next council meeting ;)
