Sadly djapian seems to go inactive upstream not long after I sponsored the package in the first place. One of the upstream authors cared enough to migrate the source from google code to github around 10 months ago: https://github.com/daevaorn/djapian But there's been no obvious activity since, and the last commit prior to that was 2012-09-01. One of the last few commits "Updated runtests.py to support Django 1.4": https://github.com/daevaorn/djapian/blob/master/runtests.py I don't know how compatible django is over minor version bumps, but it seems optimistic to me to expect it still works as-is with django 1.7. Popcon score is low and declining: https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=python-django-djapian (One of those is actually me, presumably from back when I sponsored it). I think at this point, either it needs somebody to step forward who cares enough to test with django 1.7 and do any work needed to make it work, or it should be removed from Debian. I'll file an RM bug in a few weeks if there are no volunteers. Cheers, Olly
