Bug#1088792: python-sfml: Remove this package?

Show all headers | View raw

Source: python-sfml
Version: 2.3.2.dev1+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I propose removing the python-sfml package.

Upstream seems to be very dead. The last commit was March 2020, but
those commits were mainly admin and CI related. The last commit which
touched the real guts of the code was in 2017. It still only claims to
support SFML 2.3.2 - SFML 2.4 was released in 2016.

Old Cython is being removed from Debian so it needs porting to Cython 3
and I don't really want to do this.

SFML 3.0 is coming up which will require lots of porting and catching up
with the SFML features since 2.3.

Popcon is < 100. It has no rdeps (only games-python3-dev recommends it).

For these reasons I think we should remove it. If anyone wants to keep
it they should be prepared to become the new upstream. If nobody replies
after a while I'll ask for the package to be removed.

Thanks,
James
