#14366 — Proposed MBF: packages still using nose

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi,

nose [1] is a testing framework for Python, which is dead and unmaintained
since 2015 [2][3].

The former maintainer of nose recommends projects using nose to switch to
nose2 [4], pytest [5] or unittest from Python standard library [6]. There is
a script called nose2pytest [7] which can assist with migrating from nose to
pytest.

nose has a Python 2 code base and it is difficult to keep it in working state
for new Python versions. It will probably become impossible after Python 3.13,
where lib2to3 will be removed [8].

In Debian sid, we still have 389 packages which either build-depend on nose or
use it in autopkgtests. I propose to file bugs for them asking to switch to a
supported alternative. A dd-list is attached.

debian/tests/control uses python3-nose:

can't fix those right away, but I think you should just go ahead and do
the MBF.

Fixing this now, thanks!
Note that in this case nose usage was removed some time ago but the deps
remained, some other packages may be similarly trivial to fix.

Fixed upstream in 0.8.7.
This one should probably be removed, though: there are no rev-deps, it's 
orphaned in Debian, and it's likely to be orphaned upstream soon too.

Thanks to everyone who replied!

MBF is now done and bugs can be seen here:
