Activity on Debian¶

The issue has #2558 been open on python/tornado. Originally, this issue was created by Chris Lamb (https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/python-modules-team/2018-December/051712.html) because the docs/conf.py on tonardo had a line that were not reproducible -> copyright = «2009-%s, The Tornado Authors» % time.strftime(«%Y»). For this reason, I created the patch: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/modules/python-tornado/commit/70526d2ad0022925b3f23f1b71e50928df1051f0 and open the issue on Tornado’s Github and the patch. This issue was taken and solved by upstream.
