The best way to check is with `guix refresh --list-dependent python2-bottle`?
Or, you're referring to the fact that there are still users using the
python2 version of bottle itself?
Also, when upgrading a package, what is your workflow for testing and making
sure you don't break a dependent package?
Do you also build all packages listed in the output of
`guix refresh --list-dependent package-name` before sending a patch?
My experience with this issue is when I updated python-jedi recently.
I sent the patch. It got accepted. (Un)relatedly, I tried installing
bpython a day later and bpython was broken. My first guess is that the
upgrade of python-jedi broke the current version of bpython in master. I
wasn't thinking about bpython when I was upgrading python-jedi.
Could any of the above be mentioned in the cookbook or the manual? Excuse me if
Any advice is much appreciated.
