Support Django 5.2 LTS

[SebCorbin]

What is the current status of django-postgres-extra maintenance, is there a will to release new versions?

[bufke]

Is this project still maintained? As I said before, I might be interested in starting a fork with just partitioning support. Dividing up features would help keep it small and maintainable. If someone wants to help fork, ping me. Possible approach:

1. Start new repo with 5.2+ support only, uv, partitioning only. Maybe a bit crusty with code ported over that isn't relevant.
2. Push a stable release without features changes
3. Refactor. Delete code unrelated to current django and partitions.
4. Release an updated version
5. Explore new features - Nested partitions, is there something we can do with the new composite primary key support, say a foreign key to a partitioned table?

Thank you for your comment, but we use only django-postgres-extra as it's a dependency of django-localized-fields, which only uses psqlextra.fields.HStoreField (for its ability to have required keys). So, all in all, if I could I would totally drop the dependency but django-localized-fields is also a @SectorLabs package.

If you're going to start a fork, I would recommend you do it as a proper git clone/fork not as a new repo where you import sources without any history!

with 5.2+ support only

seems quite limiting, if you must prune django version support I suggest at least to include current LTS versions

Good point about the history, this is now fixed.

I'll make it say tested on 5.2+ only. I have limited time and my goal is minimalism - an updated release that works. Let me know if you can help. If someone wants to add tests for old django versions, that's fine with me.

django-postgres-partition is released on pypi. The only change is the renamed module psqlextra becomes psql_partition and dependencies are updated. I couldn't get tests to run yet. If someone can check lower dependency versions, let me know and I'll lower what's documented.
