Dear maintainers of twisted-dependent packages,
a while ago I asked for an update of twisted to 10.0.0. I got in
contact with the maintainer, and the problem is the huge dependency
list. Thomas (the maintainer) prefers to make sure that everything
works before the update is pushed, instead of the usual
break-then-fix rawhide-ism. I think that testing an application by a
person who does not use it on a daily basis makes little sense, hence
this initiative. I have prepared updated packages:
http://belegdol.fedorapeople.org/twisted/
They build fine, and at least telepathy-sunshine works properly. So,
if you own a twisted-dependent package, please check if it still
functions as intended after installing these updated packages. This
would hopefully bring updated twisted in Fedora closer to reality.
ipython also seems to work and didn't notice any regressions because of
an updated twisted so far.
+1 for updating
Thomas
P.S. It's likely, that there will be 'soon' a new release of ipython,
which doesn't depend on twisted anymore, but on ZMQ - currently under
review awaiting (#603233 and #603245).
