Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "python-svg.path":
* Package name : python-svg.path
Version : 7.1-1
Upstream contact : Lennart Regebro <[email protected]>
* URL : https://github.com/regebro/svg.path
* License : Expat (tests/font.py: HPND)
* Vcs :
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-svg.path
Section : python
The source builds the following binary package:
python3-svg.path - SVG path objects and parser for Python3
To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/python-svg.path/
Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:
dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/python-svg.path/python-svg.path_7.1-1.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
python-svg.path (7.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream release.
- Reset cached segment fractions when a Path is re-measured, fixing wrong
coordinates or an IndexError from point()/tangent() after mutating a Path
via del/setitem/insert/slice assignment.
- Add Path.lengths().
- Better handling of tangents of paths that start with a Move().
* Adopt the package under the Debian Python Team umbrella (Closes: #816512).
* Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.4 (no changes needed).
* Bump debhelper-compat to 14; none of its changes affect this package.
* Drop the unused debian/tests/python3-svg.path script. There is no
debian/tests/control, so nothing ever ran it; the autopkgtest is
generated from Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-pybuild. It also invoked
"setup.py test", which setuptools no longer supports.
* debian/copyright: extend the upstream copyright range to 2026, the code
having been modified through 7.1, and add myself to the debian/* stanza.
Some context, since this is my first upload.
The package has been orphaned since 2017 (#816512, filed as an RFA in 2016 by
Daniel Stender and orphaned the following year for lack of time). I have
retitled the bug to ITA and taken ownership. Alexandre Detiste did a QA upload
in January 2026 which left the packaging in good shape, so this upload is
mostly the pending upstream release plus the adoption itself.
Following Debian Python Team policy I have set Maintainer to the team and put
myself in Uploaders. My salsa account is awaiting approval, so I have not yet
been able to push to the team repository or run the Salsa CI pipeline; the
branches are ready locally and I will push as soon as I have access. I will
also be requesting team membership on [email protected].
QA performed, all against unstable:
* sbuild in a clean sid chroot: successful
* lintian 2.139.0 (run inside the chroot), --info --display-info --pedantic:
no tags at all. For comparison, 7.0-2 as it stands in the archive emits
orphaned-package-maintained-in-private-space, which this upload resolves.
* autopkgtest (unshare backend, sid): pass, 56 tests on Python 3.14.6
* piuparts: pass for install, upgrade and purge
* debdiff against 7.0-2 reviewed; the debian/ changes are limited to
debian/changelog, debian/control and the removed debian/tests script
The changelog has six entries where the adoption alone would have needed two.
If you would prefer a narrower first upload, the debhelper-compat bump and the
removal of the dead debian/tests script are both independent of the adoption,
and I am happy to drop them and submit them separately.
Regards,
