python26 remnants

python26 remnants

[Jon Turney]

Preparatory to removal of python27, the final python2 version, I've been 
cleaning up the last remnants of python26.

There are still some old (pre-2012) packages which install files into 
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/, I removed the following package versions:

bzr-fastimport-0.13.0-1
cvs2svn-2.3.0-1
getmail-4.34.0-1
python-fastimport-0.9.2-1
python-feedparser-5.0.1-1
python-pyrex-0.9.9-2
xml2po-0.20.10-1 (gnome-doc-utils)

I retained for the moment, as the most recent version:

archivemail-0.9.0-1
flawfinder-1.27-2

Jari,

As the maintainer of both of these, what do you want to do with these 
two packages?

These are just python scripts, which install an .egg-info file into 
usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

I am sceptical that they work as desired currently, as the python 
scripts which they contain probably assume /usr/bin/python is python2, 
which is increasingly unlikely to be the case.

If you want to orphan them, they will be removed.

If you think they are still useful, it would help if you could please 
produce updated packages for python3, or assure me that isn't needed.

In the absence of any response, I have assumed they are orphaned, and 
removed archivemail and flawfinder.

If that's not what you wanted to happen, please let me know.
