Hello to all, The python-gd package has been RFA'ed by its maintainer, Ben Pfaff. I spoke with him about me taking over and he agreed, as long as I find a sponsor (he doesn't have time).
Now, I changed the RFA bug (#223755) to ITA, I prepared a new version of the
package, solving the one (wishlist) bug, and I need a sponsor for the
upload - if the packages are ok.
The wishlist bug (#223580) was not quite trivial - the python-gd was
built only against python (current version) and the bug requested
splitting it into python2.1-gd, python2.2-gd and python2.3-gd. I did it,
run intro trouble since some files have migrated from python-gd to
python2.3-gd, solved it by making python2.3-gd Conflicts python-gd
(<<0.52-1) and Depends python-gd (>=0.52-1), where 0.52-1 is my version.
The resulting packages:
- lintian and linda clean;
- tested for upgrade from older version;
- tested for clean install;
- tested for basic functionality
- have one issue: can't install python 2.2 version without 2.3
version (which brings python2.3 in), don't know/think this could
be an issue (since until now only 2.3 version was available); I'm
prepared to deal with this if it's an issue;
They are available (vers. 0.52-1) at http://www.k1024.org/iusty/apt/pool and:
deb http://www.k1024.org/iusty/apt/ unstable main
deb-src http://www.k1024.org/iusty/apt/ unstable main
Thank you,
Iustin Pop
