But CSWpython-rt is not enough for any Python program to work. There's no usecase for it, and it creates confusion. Can it be removed?

| Summary | 0004031: Get rid of CSWpython-rt package | ||||||
| Description |
The runtime package is unhelpful. I'm getting into arguments with the release manager who insists that my packages must depend on CSWpython-rt instead of CSWpython. I explain that CSWpython depends on CSWpython-rt, but then the release manager says "I REPEAT". I've been also asked if my package really needs to depend on the CSWpython package and not just CSWpython-rt. But CSWpython-rt is not enough for any Python program to work. There's no usecase for it, and it creates confusion. Can it be removed? |

A small point of clarity: the release manager said "[in addition to CSWpython]", not "instead of" :-} |

CSWpython-rt is now an empty package. Previously: CSWpython-rt contains .so files CSWpython depends on CSWpython-rt Now: CSWpython contains .so files CSWpython-rt depends on CSWpython There are bugs filed against packages depending on CSWpython-rt to remove the dependency and use CSWpython instead. There's also a deprecated dependencies check in the v2-checkpkg branch of GAR. |

I removed 3 of 4 dependencies: - mod_python has been rebuilt - silvercity has been removed (the upstream is dead) - pysqlite has been removed (Python has inbuilt sqlite support) The last big one is ooocore. |

The package is now dropped from unstable. |
