#61342: py-pyqrcode 1.2.1: unmaintained software
--------------------+-------------------------

Component: ports | Version:

--------------------+-------------------------
[https://github.com/mnooner256/pyqrcode pyqrcode] has not been updated
since early 2016.
A fork of this, [https://github.com/pyqrcode/pyqrcodeNG pyqrcodeNG], has
been updated as recently as April 2020. This is what is currently being
packaged by openSUSE in both
[https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/python-PyQRCode
Tumbleweed] and
[https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Leap:15.2:Update/python-
PyQRCode Leap 15.2] in preference to the standard pyqrcode.
However, even this is now unmaintained, and the
''[https://github.com/pyqrcode/pyqrcodeNG/blob/master/README.rst README]''
instead suggests [https://github.com/heuer/segno segno] as an alternative.
I personally think that the current pyqrcode port should be made obsolete
and that one of the two substitutes should be added instead (I'd be happy
to write a portfile for it), although I'm interested to hear what anyone
else thinks.
