status of dependency vcstools? about bloom

[cottsay]

This was discussed briefly in some internal infrastructure channels. I'm optimistic that we can move Bloom off from vcstools rather than attempt to resuscitate it once again in Fedora and continue kicking the can down the road.

I've linked this issue to a development branch where I've been experimenting with using vcstool instead of vcstools in Bloom. It's not yet a complete solution, but shows that we've been thinking about this for some time now.

Any news of that dev branch ?

Arch switched to 3.12 too, and Ubuntu 24.04 also, so I guess this might deserve more attention now.

Thanks, I didn't understood your first reference

That branch's last commit is almost 2 years old.
Is it still something being on the agenda ?
Is there a ticket of things to be done / missing from the feature branch to support vcstool ? (maybe the community can help move this forward?)

I guess the parallel question is: is "vcstool" still maintained ?
