Dear all, With my relatively new job, I'm finding that I have almost no time to do Debian packaging work. I have been almost single-handedly maintaining all of the Spyder-related packages and recently contributed to a good number of Jupyter-related packages. All of these packages are (at least nominally) team-maintained in either the Debian Python or Debian Science teams.
Please feel free to upload updates to these packages as needed without asking me, though you are welcome to drop me an email if you want. A few points worth noting (there are probably others that I've forgotten at the moment): * python-bytecode -> pydevd -> debugpy Each of these packages is used to build the next package in the list, by copying the code into it in place of the vendored code. In particular, pydevd and debugpy are currently developed together, with pydevd being embedded in debugpy, so any updates to pydevd should be accompanied by a corresponding update to debugpy. * pydevd and debugpy These are only developed upstream for the amd64 architecture. As they make use of lots of the innards of Python (that I don't understand), there are multiple test failures on other archs that upstream will not address. These are handled in debian/get_test_exclusions, which needs regular updating when the autobuilders or autopkgtests fail. * spyder The autopkgtest setup is somewhat involved. Experience has shown that this is needed, so it would be unwise to try to collapse it back to a single test. * nbdime (ITP #975509) This ITP is currently blocked by node-rjsf. I doubt that I'll have time to finish packaging it once node-rjsf is fixed, though. Thanks for everyone's help in advance! Best wishes, Julian
