[aur-general] community/python2-flask conflicts python-flask
I was in the process of creating a python3 package [1] for flask, but I've noticed python2-flask [2] seems to conflicts+replace "python-flask". I imagine this was for historical reasons, but this introduces probably unintentional behavior when a package provides python-flask (the python3 version of flask): :: python-flask-git and python2-flask are in conflict (python-flask). Remove python2-flask? [y/N] Would it be appropriate to (directly) contact said TU about his package, or is it innappropriate to expect TUs to yield to AUR packages/maintainers? Thanks.

This should be considered a bug. I fixed the package and pushed it. However, is there really any merit in making a python-flask-git package? flask doesn't even work on python3. Next time please just contact me directly for tiny things like these. For bigger stuff, report bugs. Sven

I'll keep this in mind.

Yes, for a flask package for python3.
flask doesn't even work on python3.
I'm afriad upstream disagrees with you. They haven't made a release yet, however, thus the -git package.

Oh, I wasn't aware of the sprint branch which apparently aims for python3 support. I, for one, would appreciate python3 support.
