Hello Divmod team,

I would like to highlight the proposal of moving PyFlakes to its own
repository.
For those who already read the previous discussion, this is exactly the
same proposal (which received positive feedback from two members).

I see many good reasons to host the code for PyFlakes in a separate
repository. As I said in a previous e-mail, it is less confusing for all
the actors (users, developers, etc...) to find the project at a single
place: the source code, the issue tracker, the downloads...
Second reason, is that it makes it easier for external contributions. You
only clone the PyFlakes project, without need to download the code of all
the unrelated Divmod's projects. Same benefit when someone wants to mirror
the code on any other VCS.
And the PyFlakes project is so widely used, that it deserves to have its
own repository.

The proposal is tracked with issue #1095248:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/divmod.org/+bug/1095248
More technical details in the bug report.

Thank you for your feedback on the bug tracker, or on this mailing list.

Best regards,
