flup: drop package

[commodo]

Maintainer: me & @BKPepe
Compile tested: n/a
Run tested: n/a

Latest release on pypi is from 2018
https://pypi.org/project/flup/

The homepage looks outdated (~2005):
https://www.saddi.com/software/flup/

No other package in the feeds uses this.

Time to retire this from the main branch.

I checked if I have the python3-flup installed on my Turris router, and indeed, I have it. I am not interested in packaging Python packages for OpenWrt, nor having maintainership for these packages. My priorities have changed, and in my free time, I am trying to review something or send pull requests for packages that I am interested in.

In the past, I asked @turris-cz to step in. However, no further steps were taken by them. It is a question of whether we should remove it if the downstream project uses it for its Web UI ¹ and for its Turris Auth ². I think we can ask someone from the Turris team, e.g., @aleksan4eg again, if they want to have these packages in their own specific feed if they will take maintainership, or if they will drop Flup. Who knows what the next step is going to be? 🤷

Well, I would be also fine to keep it.

But since there hasn't been any updates to it (for a while), I am wondering if this is needed, of whether it still works.

I am also trying to cut down a bit of the number of packages I am listed as maintainer; and keep the ones that make sense.

Remove the package. If they need it, perhaps they can maintain the package. Doesn't hurt to keep it, but isn't our responsibility to maintain it for them.

Is it certain that it's Python3 compatible?

They can, right? @shenek do you think that Flup could be replaced in your applications, if not, is it possible that someone from Turris SW distro guys will assign maintainership for this package?

Yep, I am. Its working.
