Description Thomas Capricelli 2018-03-09 18:23:02 UTC
We are stuck with version 1.6.1 in portage, while there has been ~34 releases since then. The last one is 2.0.3 as of today.

The gentoo package is clearly not maintained

Please remove it, 1.6.1 is not compatible with current stable/unstable django releases anyway. Having it in portage make people assume it's a relatively recent release (if not the latest), and it's misleading.
Comment 1 Virgil Dupras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-08-12 18:43:40 UTC
You are correct Thomas. This is clearly unused and unmaintained. I'm not the maintainer of this package, so I'll give dev-zero a few days to weight in, and then begin the last-riting process.
Comment 2 Virgil Dupras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-08-19 00:14:14 UTC
Treecleaners, maintainer is unresponsive, package is unmaintained and without revdeps. Could you look into treecleaning it please? Thanks.
Comment 3 Virgil Dupras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-10-16 00:24:01 UTC
Masking this for removal, along with:

dev-python/shortuuid
dev-python/fexpect

shortuuid is a django-extensions dependency that has only one other revdep: fexpect which is unmaintained and dead upstream.
