Server seeded Python2 packages

[Matthias Klose]

Seeded in supported-misc-servers:

Web applications:

 * python-moinmoin # moin (>= 1.5)
 * python-django
 * python-tickcount #ChuckShort - server-lucid-canonical-application-support
 * python-openid #ChuckShort - server-lucid-canonical-application-support
 * python-pastescript #ChuckShort - server-lucid-canonical-application-support
 * python-pastedeploy #ChuckShort - server-lucid-canonical-application-support
 * python-psycopg2
 * python-posix-ipc

these should be either removed or ported to Python3, or replaced by their Python3 counterparts.

I've dropped the seeded packages from this list that relate to OpenStack bits; however they won't push out to universe as they are dependencies of other seeded packages.

The two exceptions to my commit where moin and tickcount which I'll defer to other members of the ubuntu server team to deal with.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

tickcount is probably unportable to Python 3 (https://bugs.python.org/issue19199). As far as I know it's only there for the benefit of Launchpad, and we can manage via a PPA or a virtualenv, so you shouldn't consider us as blocking its removal. I'll also look at removing our dependency on it.

tickcount is now demoted

Shairng my two cents on moin as Doko asked for an update - sorry probably not what you wanted to hear :-/

Moin is - so far - not intended to be py3 compatible.
There is a full detailed status on [1].
So short-term it is unlikely to become py3 compatible.

OTOH one could decide to demote it to universe, but I don't consider that likely either.
So far it is "the" wiki in main, and I didn't see any other.
Furthermore it is - for example - still what Canonical uses for wiki.canonical.com and wiki.ubuntu.com, which we would likely want to convert if we demote it.
So I don't think it will be demoted for a while IMHO.

What software is used by Ubuntu Project or Canonical Company internally, has little bearing as to what we ship in main.

What matters is what we ship for our users, and what is best for them.

In 2018, I would not recommend people to deploy a wiki full stop, nor a python2 service. I'd recommend them to use a forkable github pages or a static website generated from a git repository using e.g. jerkyll.

Moin has been demoted.
