 =====================================
 
 .. warning::
-   The Emacs package now has its own repository and is looking for a maintainer.
-   If you're reading this doc and are interested in maintaining this package or
-   are actually using flymake please open an issue at
-   https://github.com/emacsorphanage/pylint/issues/new/choose
-
-To enable Flymake for Python, insert the following into your .emacs:
-
-.. sourcecode:: common-lisp
-
-    ;; Configure Flymake for Python
-    (when (load "flymake" t)
-      (defun flymake-pylint-init ()
-        (let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy
-                           'flymake-create-temp-inplace))
-               (local-file (file-relative-name
-                            temp-file
-                            (file-name-directory buffer-file-name))))
-          (list "epylint" (list local-file))))
-      (add-to-list 'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks
-                   '("\\.py\\'" flymake-pylint-init)))
-
-    ;; Set as a minor mode for Python
-    (add-hook 'python-mode-hook '(lambda () (flymake-mode)))
-
-Above stuff is in ``pylint/elisp/pylint-flymake.el``, which should be automatically
-installed on Debian systems, in which cases you don't have to put it in your ``.emacs`` file.
-
-Other things you may find useful to set:
-
-.. sourcecode:: common-lisp
-
-    ;; Configure to wait a bit longer after edits before starting
-    (setq-default flymake-no-changes-timeout '3)
-
-    ;; Keymaps to navigate to the errors
-    (add-hook 'python-mode-hook '(lambda () (define-key python-mode-map "\C-cn" 'flymake-goto-next-error)))
-    (add-hook 'python-mode-hook '(lambda () (define-key python-mode-map "\C-cp" 'flymake-goto-prev-error)))
-
-
-Finally, by default Flymake only displays the extra information about the error when you
-hover the mouse over the highlighted line. The following will use the minibuffer to display
-messages when you the cursor is on the line.
-
-.. sourcecode:: common-lisp
-
-    ;; To avoid having to mouse hover for the error message, these functions make Flymake error messages
-    ;; appear in the minibuffer
-    (defun show-fly-err-at-point ()
-      "If the cursor is sitting on a Flymake error, display the message in the minibuffer"
-      (require 'cl)
-      (interactive)
-      (let ((line-no (line-number-at-pos)))
-        (dolist (elem flymake-err-info)
-          (if (eq (car elem) line-no)
-    	  (let ((err (car (second elem))))
-    	    (message "%s" (flymake-ler-text err)))))))
-
-    (add-hook 'post-command-hook 'show-fly-err-at-point)
-
-
-Alternative, if you only wish to pollute the minibuffer after an explicit flymake-goto-* then use
-the following instead of a post-command-hook
-
-.. sourcecode:: common-lisp
-
-    (defadvice flymake-goto-next-error (after display-message activate compile)
-      "Display the error in the mini-buffer rather than having to mouse over it"
-      (show-fly-err-at-point))
-

-      "Display the error in the mini-buffer rather than having to mouse over it"
-      (show-fly-err-at-point))
+    epylint was deprecated in 2.16.0 and targeted for deletion in 3.0.0.
+    All emacs and flymake related files were removed and their support will
+    now happen in an external repository: https://github.com/emacsorphanage/pylint.

-"""Emacs and Flymake compatible Pylint.
-
-This script is for integration with Emacs and is compatible with Flymake mode.
-
-epylint walks out of python packages before invoking pylint. This avoids
-reporting import errors that occur when a module within a package uses the
-absolute import path to get another module within this package.
-
-For example:
-    - Suppose a package is structured as
-
-        a/__init__.py
-        a/b/x.py
-        a/c/y.py
-
-   - Then if y.py imports x as "from a.b import x" the following produces pylint
-     errors
-
-       cd a/c; pylint y.py
-
-   - The following obviously doesn't
-
-       pylint a/c/y.py
-
-   - As this script will be invoked by Emacs within the directory of the file
-     we are checking we need to go out of it to avoid these false positives.
-
-You may also use py_run to run pylint with desired options and get back (or not)
-its output.
