[Sugar-devel] [Fwd: Dependency on python-cjson - dead upstream]

[Bernie Innocenti]

Forwarding to the Sugar development list.

IIRC, we had switched to cjson only for a short time. Sugar 0.88 uses
simplejson.

So, maybe the dependencies of the rpm have not been adjusted
accordingly.

Hi,

sugar-datastore in Fedora currently depends on python-cjson. The latter 
package has basically a dead upstream and a lot of bugs that never will be fixed.

As sugar-datastore is the only package in Fedora that requires python-cjson 
I'm curious if it would be possible to get rid of python-cjson in Fedora. 
Usually it is quite easy to migrate to python-simplejson (or just to use the 
built-in JSON module from Python itself).

Please note: I'm just asking how hard your dependency on cjson is, I'm not 
planning on removing the package immediately. (actually I'm not even the 
maintainer of that one :-).
