Hello,
Thank you for the welcome, Louis-Philippe - membership arrived yesterday and I have put it to immediate use. I have adopted two packages that were orphaned in the team's namespace. Both are pushed to the team repositories, both have green pipelines, and both now need a sponsor for the upload itself, which membership does not grant. python-svg.path 7.1-1 (ITA #816512, RFS #1143833) Orphaned since 2017. New upstream release 7.1, plus the adoption. https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-svg.path https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-svg.path/-/pipelines/1147371 helpdev 0.7.1-7 (ITA #1067786, RFS #1144088) Orphaned since February 2024. The substantive change is debian/watch, which had been failing since gitlab.com moved /tags to /-/tags - uscan reported "no matching files for watch source", so the package had been invisible to upstream-version tracking. Switched to mode=git, which avoids the HTML scraping entirely. Also adds a manual page, written from __main__.py so the options match what argparse actually accepts. https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/helpdev https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/helpdev/-/pipelines/1147394 Both: lintian 2.139.0 clean inside a sid chroot, autopkgtest and piuparts passing, sbuild against unstable. If anyone has time to review or sponsor either, I would be grateful. Review is genuinely as useful to me as sponsorship - these are my first two uploads, and I would rather learn now what I am doing wrong than repeat it across more packages. One question I would value an opinion on, about helpdev. It shells out to "pip list" in helpdev/__init__.py, but the binary package does not depend on python3-pip. That looks like a real missing dependency to me. I did not want to add it in the same upload as the adoption without asking - is that better as part of this upload, or as a separate one afterwards? I have two more prepared but not claimed - python-ajpy and python-rply, both modernised locally and building clean. I am deliberately not filing ITAs for them until the first two are actually in the archive, on the grounds that an unanswered ITA blocks other people. If that is more caution than the team expects, I am happy to be told so. Thanks, Dustin Kost [email protected] salsa: dkost GPG: EDCE 3BA9 A154 4E1C 3F5F 7BD7 98C1 3C91 546C C4C2
