Message #5 received at submit@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: python-uflash@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:python-uflash
I intend to orphan the python-uflash package.
This package currently sits in the Debian Python team and is a dependency of the
mu-editor package.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-uflash
The package description is:
 uflash is a utility for flashing the BBC micro:bit with Python scripts
 and the MicroPython runtime.
 .
 It provides two services:
 .
  * a library of functions to programmatically create a hex file and flash
    it onto a BBC micro:bit.
  * a command line utility (uflash) that will flash Python scripts onto
    a BBC micro:bit
 .
 Several essential operations are implemented:
 .
  * encode Python into the hex format
  * embed the resulting hexified Python into the MicroPython runtime hex
  * extract an encoded Python script from a MicroPython hex file
  * discover the connected micro:bit
  * copy the resulting hex onto the micro:bit, thus flashing the device
  * specify the MicroPython runtime hex in which to embed your Python code
 .
 By default, python3-uflash uses the MicroPython runtime for micro:bit
 provided by the firmware-microbit-micropython package and which is
 located at /usr/share/firmware-microbit-micropython/firmware.hex.
