This removal has been problematic for a lot of software including the listed EPEL
dependencies and anything those depend on. I propose the following be done:
- Temporarily un-retire Django14 in EPEL6, and allow a planned sunset after some period of
time. It would not receive updates during this time since upstream Django deprecated it
already.
- Add python-django[0] from EPEL7 (python-django-1.6.11-5.el7) to EPEL6 in a way that has
allows some time overlap with Django14 being also available. During that time other
packages can switch to using python-django gracefully. This should be feasible because
Django 1.6 is the last Django Y release which will run on Python 2.6 making it feasible to
run on EL6.
Other ideas or suggestions are welcome.
