More relevant, I think, is that the nose module is essentially unmaintained and so it is wortwhile migrating to something that has a future. > My proposed implementation for this is at > <URL:https://git.fosscommunity.in/bignose/debian_python-debian/commits/wip/m > aintenance/unittest>, the ‘wip/maintenance/unittest’ branch. As already noted on the mailing list, these changes completely break the test suite at build time and are additionally buggy in their invocation of the autopkgtests (hence removing the "patch" tag). Something similar in nature that is tested and works would be quite welcome. regards Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
