I intended to run some Python scripts against Salsa and realised that the packaged pyapi-gitlab is way outdated but had some better success with latest upstream 7.8.4. I was about to ping the maintainer Benjamin Drung (in CC) about the status. In any case I agree that we do not need an outdated API which is not even actively maintained any more. > Also, the two libraries have clashing namespaces: > > https://github.com/pyapi-gitlab/pyapi-gitlab/issues/263 > https://github.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab/issues/385 > > Alternatively, the new packaged could be named python-pygitlab and make > use of "Conflicts" to prevent clashing. > > The package will be maintained under the "debian" group on: > https://salsa.debian.org/debian/python-pygitlab I cloned this for testing the package and the files in your pristine-tar branch are not properly named accourding to the source package name. If you want me to push my fix I can do so. I'll let you know about other issues I might face when testing the package. Apropos name choice: I do not fully understand why you choose the repository name python-pygitlab (instead of python-gitlab) nor why you do not maintain this in Debian Python Modules Team (where it should belong to IMHO).
