  • Remove trac from Debian 11?

    I wonder, whether the package should be part of Debian 11, or
    better miss one stable release and have it in better shape for
    Debian 12.

    If nobody objects, I'll file a bug to keep it out of Debian 11.

    I do not think that slowing down of development is reason serious enough
    to remove a package which is otherwise fine. Or are there other reasons
    that I am not aware of?

    Best,

    Dears,

    trac is a long-time Debian package, uploaded first by Jesus
    Climent in 2004. I like the traditional look of Trac and its
    climate-friendly resource usage :-)

    Now, while Trac is still maintained upstream and has been ported
    to Python 3 recently, development slowed down since long and the
    current 1.5.x release series is not yet "there".

    I wonder, whether the package should be part of Debian 11, or
    better miss one stable release and have it in better shape for
    Debian 12.

    If nobody objects, I'll file a bug to keep it out of Debian 11.

    Comments welcome!

    Cheers

    I don't object. Typically I am against releasing knowingly not
    ready-to-ship software. If one of the maintainers comes up with a
    reasonable argument against this view, then we should listen to it.

    I don't have a problem with slow development, but the current
    version is probably not good enough to maintain it for some
    years. I'm optimistic, that in some months or so 1.6.x will
    be released, which should be fine. I'm planning to backport it
    to Debian 11, so that users still can install trac easily.
