Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal User: ftp.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: remove X-Debbugs-Cc: python-bytec...@packages.debian.org, debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:python-bytecode
python-bytecode was packaged purely to avoid having a vendored version embedded in pydevd. In turn, pydevd was packaged purely to avoid having a vendored version of the package embedded in debugpy. debugpy has now diverged from the upstream pydevd in an incompatible way, and there is no prospect of the two merging again (see https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy/discussions/1611 for more details). I have therefore reverted to using the vendored version in debugpy. This renders both the pydevd and python-bytecode packages unnecessary. I have already requested the removal of pydevd (#1076421), and there are no other reverse dependencies in unstable besides this.
