Hello.
I'm writing trying to understand current status of Consul-related
packages. Therefore I put all people who were involved in packaging
them into CC.

Currently we have 2 packages in the team:
 * python-consul, packaged by Olivier Sallou in 2017-08-30
 * python-consul2, packaged by Roland Mas in 2021-09-19

Unfortunately both packages are in quite old versions and haven't
seen new versions uploaded to Debian since initial upload.
python-consul got two additional uploads by Holger Levsen and Sandro
Tossi - both were Debian releases, fixing problems with package
but not updating it to the new version. Therefore package is still in
original version 0.7.1 from 2017.
python-consul2 is in similar state: it also had few additional uploads
but also stays in version 0.1.5 from 2021.

I guess the problem is caused by mess with upstream repositories.
python-consul was packaged from
https://github.com/cablehead/python-consul
tag v0.7.1, commit a343f96d0b755407dfbb07d9efdc8b2b977bcc41 from
Mon Aug 7 16:21:10 2017 +0530

There were some other commits, but development stopped in August
of 2018. python-consul2 was packaged from
https://github.com/poppyred/python-consul2.git, most probably from
latest commit 7aa1ff4103f6c8e6e79d614bbcd554b6e835a6f9 from
Thu Feb 18 18:29:16 2021 +0800. This repository was fork of
cablehead repository, but changed versioning (from 0.7.1 to 0.1.5);
it had some activity between September 2019 and November 2020.

It looks like currently development occurs at
https://github.com/criteo/py-consul.git.
It's forked from latest commit from cablehead repository,
53eb41c4760b983aec878ef73e72c11e0af501bb.
Looks like development from poppyred repository was not copied.

Alexandre Detiste started working on updating python-consul packaging:
he updated upstream to 1.5.0 and worked on dependencies. Unfortunately
looks like nothing happened since May.

I'm interested in Python Consul package, as I'm using it at work.
Alexandre - do you need help with packaging?

Question to DPT - what are we doing with python-consul2?
I'd propose to RM it after uploading newest version pf python-consul,
but wanted to discuss it first.

Best regards.
