Subject: python-xml removal: please drop/replace (build) dependencies

Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:54:12 +0100 (MET)

Package: pyslide
Severity: important
User: pkg-zope-developers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: python-xml-removal

Since some time a subset of python-xml is included in the
standard python library, while the python-xml package did not see
any updates for years.  It is time to drop it from the distribution.
Update scenarios:

 - Just drop the (build) dependency, if the functionality is included
   in python. (Build)-depend on python (>= 2.4).

 - Copy missing code in the std library from the python-xml package.
   (e.g. for some installer packages: localechoose).

 - Use another xml library (python-4suite-xml, python-lxml).

Please contact the ML pkg-zope-developers@lists.alioth.debian.org
for further questions and help.  Patches for some packages may be
available as a diff of an Ubuntu package at
http://packages.qa.debian.org/pyslide

It is likely that the severity of this report is raised before the
release.

Hi,

Thanks for bug report.

Is this is case in pyslide case since it Depends on python-xml ?

Hi all,

Ubuntu patch for this doesn't help. Simply removing 'python-xml' is not proper
solution. 

See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pyslide/+bug/199014

So, I asked to reopen python-xml removal bug for pyslide. They are working on
it. Thanks for it.

Also, I can't really test if pyslide can work with 4suite API, as #468634 is
blocking it.

Meanwhile, any help will be highly appreciated!

Hi Matthias,

Are we still going to remove python-xml from Debian? Or should I close
or downgrade severity to wishlist?

Please let me know.
