Hi list

QScintilla Qt4/python2 version has one reverse dependency and it is the
tora package that is marked for autoremoval on the 5th of September.

Shall I keep support for Qt4/python2 in my upgrade or is it ok to remove it?

Regards
Gudjon

You should wait until it's either upgraded or removed from unstable.  It 
depends directly on the library, not the python binding, so if nothing else is 
using the python bindings they can be dropped now even if you keep Qt4 support 
for the moment.

I note that the new upstream release of tora supports Qt5, so I would 
recommend emailing the maintainer (there's already a bug) to ask them to 
either upgrade the package or file an rm request.

Tora is gone now, but you're not quite there yet.

reverse-depends python-qscintilla2
Reverse-Recommends

* connectomeviewer

See #875494 about this.

reverse-depends python-pyqt5.qsci

* tortoisehg

I filed #935660 about this.

Hi Scott

Great, thanks. I will make one upgrade with python2/Qt4 and then start
preparing for its removal.
