Should these build-dependencies > be removed? +1 for this idea! matplotlib2 is currently one of only 4 blockers for python-qt4 removal (and one of two blockers for removing its Python 2 part). I wonder if we can also remove python-matplotlib2-doc and related sphinx build-dependencies. For developers working on software using matplotlib, the documentation for its latest version (python-matplotlib-doc) should be enough. -- Dmitry Shachnev --dDRMvlgZJXvWKvBx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEE5688gqe4PSusUZcLZkYmW1hrg8sFAl3K3n4ACgkQZkYmW1hr g8szIg//S6CcgLjTlSroD0G+b47aFsag9iQYR+VdkrX5/EcjN6IhlVNxl45xGj3l gVmYPIntHQYnRtULRWeEwp/eaZfbO0LBIdTPkuDHX0+ClMkragRvChA6LOzFykq1 heeGX+esdUhyiuDD9B5X8yDwVejuaMxDD3PgRHxamvQQ32AUT90EVOqsp2s4lrku z3BlC89icLTRCG3RL65Z4XN6vAik0pq7kxPtOAjEn6cNHerDym8JrFXZ5cSaPupZ TLD8lTnJ92uA5XfVIVmxB2cuVi2ZXUB1wleaBKJ9jY6ATK8ucFVqgaQ4YCspjAI8 +yvsHHANxRW9lA7mMH3jD1VULhrFdHCAV78lu49Pim1svwq/HvsOAF3YUfqhKt5n N1OS7EGixmWMsK/RESZz81ucbLd29HztWLEY7neZ16tqbbcapvBiW8Mtp+B44vTJ vcqb6gZSxcRL3Cx4ewnLDO4mwtXrouiPlsBQDPEPqjyMoLr70/+eHpaFYSC/+zA7 QGFUoTvY7jwXB8QPVAVLlquoyKo1JSVmuQf9M3PtkJLLJ9w4YqhodeMZmrIIzGeE Do4cZz/B2NInB9ixhEveGcaADm/Q2taLb55ayELMdw1tJHEo6PNZmjk3M0SkcrYE BBlOieeCtIPFKe+pZiqzWLucZViMQSDbQatalqSl2Nv1x9672To= =hnDU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --dDRMvlgZJXvWKvBx--
