Hi list

I am updating my package pyqwt3d. It is tested for Qt5, python2 and python3.
The changes were so huge that I made GitHub fork of it:
https://github.com/GauiStori/PyQwt3D

Now I have two questions:

1. Shall I skip the python2 version since it is already end of life?
2. Shall I make my changes into a huge patch (changes from upstream
in the DPMT git repository) or make my own GitHub repository as an
upstream source?

Regards
Gudjon

It looks like the current version of pyqwt3d has no reverse dependencies,
and new applications will use Python 3, so yes, it makes sense to skip
the Python 2 version.

As the real upstream had no updates since 2009, and your changes are huge,
I don’t see anything wrong in using your GitHub repository as upstream.
