> I am looking for a sponsor for my package "python-hupper": Hi, I reviewed the python-hupper package, up for sponsorship in the Python team. It needs a bit of work: * copyright: according to the CONTRIBUTORS.txt file, the docs are subject to a non-DFSG-compliant license (commercial use is disallowed): """ Code committed within the ``docs/`` subdirectory of the hupper source control repository and "docstrings" which appear in the documentation generated by running "make" within this directory are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/). """ You probably want to repack the orig tarball with a +dfsg suffix, removing the affected directory. Excluding files is best automated via d/copyright [1], and the repack suffix added via the watch file. Once everything is in place, uscan will handle the repack for you. Updating to the ""new"" (= repacked) release works the same way as importing an actual new upstream release (i.e. by running 'gbp import-orig'). * control: standards-version is still outdated. * control: another uploader removed (why? was this on request?) and yourself added, without mentioning any of that in the changelog. Please document all changes. * control: missing dependency for the watchdog module, unconditional imports at: src/hupper/watchdog.py:5:from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler src/hupper/watchdog.py:6:from watchdog.observers import Observer * control: package is missing a dependency on python3-pytest, causing the upstream testsuite to be skipped on build. * lintian hits, easily fixed: W: python3-hupper: no-manual-page [usr/bin/hupper3] I: python3-hupper: synopsis-is-a-sentence "Integrated process monitor for developing servers. (Python 3)" ...as well as some that probably could use an override: X: python3-hupper: application-in-library-section python [usr/bin/hupper3] X: python3-hupper: library-package-name-for-application [usr/bin/hupper3] * tests: please add a non-trivial autopkgtest; it probably won't take more effort than setting "Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-pybuild" in d/control. Please ping me once you have an updated package ready.
