Also, we (Ubuntu) definitely won't maintain or ship Python 2.7 indefinitely; I'm keeping a keen eye on how the ecosystem moves to decide when that happens.

- herge 10y agoYou'll keep ship Python 2.7 for more or less time than Perl 5?
- kikoreis 10y agoHah, that's a trick question. Probably for less, given how deeply Debian tooling depends on perl5.
- module0000 10y agoI was under the impression Ubuntu is re-shipping the upstream debian python2x and 3x packages. Are your maintainers packaging 2x from scratch? If so...why?
- kikoreis 10y agoWell, our maintainers (primarily Matthias) package both for Debian and Ubuntu, so they diverge only in the sense that the cadences and versioning are not completely aligned. But regardless of the packaging effort, the real overhead is tracking security for the [overlapping] LTS releases.
