Bonjour Antoine,

I already discussed this topic with you in IRC, but I'm documenting the details here for the sake of the mailing list.

  * i wonder if bumblebee-status/_version.py belongs there. it's a copy
    of the python3-versioneer package that's already in the
    archive... could you remove it from the source and make sure we use
    the Debian copy instead? at the very least the debian/copyright file
    should refer to it...

_version.py is not a copy of versioneer, it's *generated* by versioneer. However, there is versioneer.py in the root directory, which is. I'll exclude that from the source and repack.

  * i also attach the output of `decopy` which finds a few more things
    than you in debian/copyright

  * i'm really not sure I like that C binary to fetch the keyboard
    layout... surely there must be a more pythonic way of doing this? i
    guess there's another layout-xkb module that does the right thing,
    but it seems odd to have both there.. you also seem to rebuild it in
    debian/rules, but i don't see where it gets installed

I'm just following what was done upstream (except removing a prebuilt binary in the source that I then rebuild).

As for how it's installed, I believe that's handled by the upstream setup.py:
    data_files=[
        ("share/bumblebee-status/themes", glob.glob("themes/*.json")),
("share/bumblebee-status/themes/icons", glob.glob("themes/icons/*.json")),
        ("share/bumblebee-status/utility", glob.glob("bin/*")),
    ]
Looks like it's put into /something/share/bumblebee-status/utility.

One flaw I did find is that my package is marked for architecture all, while in reality it should be marked as any because of this C binary.

  * i did a quick read of most of the code in commit
    30853fd19110c6e53be35c4bb846ab3a133b51ac and it seems sane. i haven't
    reviewed the contrib modules

  * the build fails here, in a fresh Debian unstable qemu image, with:

        ERROR tests/core/test_output.py - RuntimeError: unable to find theme 
default

I am aware of this failure and have reported it upstream. For now, I'll disable the offending test.


I attach a full build log.

Thanks for working on this package!

a.

This autogenerated copyright file has some problems. First of all, LICENSE shouldn't be considered separate from the rest of the source, since it describes the entire source. Also, as far as Debian is concerned, MIT and Expat are the same license (although in reality MIT is a term used to describe two slightly different licenses). The copyright holder for * is incorrect, I don't know where it got that info from. It did catch _version.py, which I didn't, so I'll add that.

Merci d'avoir examiné mon paquet,
