about conventions... please, please, please mention PEP386, PEP396, PEP390 (, PEP384?, PEP8?) or documents like http://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide - maybe it's not directly related to your talk, but any occasion is good to try to convince developers to follow conventions. > full-archive rebuilds, etc). I will briefly present the "Debian > packaging" helper tools, including recent GSOC project aiming to > provide automatic packaging of the packages on PyPI. To facilitate even today Natalia committed some changes related to exporting build/test logs, statistics will follow soon, I hope :). We still need a server to set this up, though - I'll try to arrange a webserver to host generated repo/logs, but we still need access to a buildd (or a server where we can set one up) to do the building part - Natalia's tool is prepared to be invoked in cron and build (using f.e. sbuild) only new packages / for new architectures or new distributions). > the synergy between Python and Debian communities, I will accent on > common sense practices (following PEPs, clean and exhaustive legal > terms, CI, etc.) which would make any Debian packaging and > maintainership more efficient and benefit upstream developers. I am > planing to conclude by presenting few easy ways on how to start using > Debian. great! > As the outcome of the talk, I expect listeners to become more familiar > with the Debian project goals, standards and principles, become aware > of integration aspects involved in delivering such plethora of Python > FOSS solutions, and become intrigued enough to try Debian on their > systems or in the cloud. you can also advertise https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php (for those who want to see build logs from different architectures of their libraries - we try to enable more and more tests during build) -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
