Re: Maintenance of pydap

Show all headers | View raw

I believe upstream has moved on from the API of 2.x (dap namespace) to 
using 3.x (pydap namespace). My assumption is based on the facts that:

1) the upstream repository [1] provide tags for 3.x releases only,
2) active issues, such as Python 3 support, are milestoned for 3.2.x [2],

[1] https://github.com/robertodealmeida/pydap
[2] https://github.com/robertodealmeida/pydap/issues/7

Since dap 2.x is no longer actively maintained, then the question is 
whether to introduce a new source package for pydap 3.x or just upgrade 
the current source package to 3.x and take care of the rdep for 
python-mpltoolkits.basemap.

Thoughts?
