This one was abandoned by its upstream years ago. He actually entirely
deleted the repository from github, though someone else put up a copy
of it recently (they didn't pick up maintenance, just put up a
'historical copy').
It's only used by certbot and python-acme (which is actually a part of
certbot that gets its own releases on pypi and which we treat as a
separate source package).
Both have stopped using it upstream now, so we can quite trivially
backport those fixes to our certbot and python-acme packages, and
retire sphinxcontrib-programoutput.
Zbyszek is the owner of the package...do you agree with this plan,
Zbyszek? I'm fixing up certbot and python-acme, but you'd have to
retire programoutput.
Hi Adam,
I'm just back from the winter break. It's always great to see other
people take care of my packages, thanks!
You're right that the original repo is gone, but I think that this
extension remains to be useful. There's a bunch of forks on github,
so hopefully somebody will pick up maintenance. If that doesn't happen,
or if a good replacement appears, I'll drop the package. But for now
I prefer to let it live.
I fixed the test suite, it's building in rawhide.

PS. What's the status of the python3.6 rebuild? Can somebody post
a list of work-needing packages?
