Good question. Something like pulling the source packages of all packages directly or indirectly depending on python-twisted-core and grepping for connectUDP.
I looked at the direct (apt-cache rdepends python-twisted | tail -n +3) and once removed (apt-cache rdepends python-twisted | tail -n +3 | xargs -iF bash -c 'apt-cache rdepends F | tail -n +3' | sort | uniq) dependencies of python-twisted.
One package refers to connectUDP, flumotion. It doesn't appear to actually use it, though; instead it seems to be monkey-patching it to correct a documentation issue. I don't think the removal will break this package, but it may result in flumotion-generated Twisted docs which include connectUDP, even though it no longer exists.
Thanks for checking, it looks we're good then.
Have you already asked Matthias Klose (the maintainer) if he is interested in updating the packages himself? If not, I'll be glad to help out.
No, I haven't. It'd be great if you could sort this out.
Okay, I'll check that.
Matthias said he thinks that a Feature Freeze Exception is fine for Twisted 10.0.0, and I can go on packaging it. There are quite a few source packages to update, I'll try to do it in the coming days. Ciao! Free
