• Proposed removal of pydevd and python-bytecode packages

    From Julian Gilbey@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 4 20:00:01 2024
    Hi all,

    I'm just uploaded debugpy 1.8.2, which uses a vendored version of
    pydevd rather than depending on the Debian python3-pydevd package.

    This is necessary, as upstream debugpy has now diverged from upstream
    pydevd, whereas until recently, they used to develop the upstream
    pydevd in-house, so pydevd was alway in-sync with debugpy - more
    details here: https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy/discussions/1611

    The only reason I packaged pydevd and its dependency bytecode was to
    be able to package debugpy without embedding vendored versions of
    these packages. There are no other packages depending on either of
    these in unstable.

    I plan to ask ftpmaster to remove these two packages (pydevd and python-bytecode) once debugpy 1.8.2 makes it to testing, unless there
    are any objections.

    Best wishes,

    Julian
