Comment 1 Conrad Meyer 2009-02-18 02:35:55 UTC
Hellanzb's upstream is essentially dead (last commit to SVN was almost 2 years ago). What do you want me to do about this? To what extent is it broken (does it still run despite the warnings?)?

Comment 2 Mace Moneta 2009-02-18 02:50:02 UTC
It still runs, but I presume the warnings are there because it won't at some point.  If it's not maintainable, it really shouldn't be in the distribution.

Comment 3 Conrad Meyer 2009-02-18 03:11:40 UTC
It will still run on any python 2.6, then. When we move to python 3.0 (a *long* ways down the road) then it can be removed without my objection.
