Dear Debian Science Maintainers, I am beginning a Thread here in this mailing list related to Bug#1098454
* https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1098454 as I suppose it needs a more longer discussion or (depending on activity) public status information. I have read the 'Debian Python Policy' and I am familiar with the 'Debian Developers Reference' in the past. Currently I am reading the 'Debian Maintainers Guide' and try to become a Debian Maintainer to solve the Bug#1098454 above itself. ********************************************************************** * Faster solution If someone needs it more faster to become solved then let us make a parallel 'packaging race' xD ... Otherwise as workaround it is very easy to check-out the not packaged sources via Git, i.e. $> git clone https://github.com/qutip/qutip-qip then `cd` into it and run in a shell qutip-qip$> python3 setup.py build then `cd` into your project-sources and soft-link the build into it project/src$> ln -s ../../qutip-qip/build/lib/qutip_qip Thats all. It exist inter-Qutip dependencies, keep track of it. ********************************************************************** * My changed email First if all -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 To become a Debian Maintainer I changed my email.

Reading the 'Debian Maintainers Guide' a bit more, until I feel certain enough for maintaining. 2. In parallel I try to become the 'Debian Maintainer' status in the NM process (key signing and so on). 3. The Python library QuTiP (python3-qutip) was split via a kind of plugin-system into many splited projects with it's own Git-repositories by the developers. My plan is to map these plugins to Debian packages. Maybe `python3-qutip-<plugin>` in compliance with the Debian Python Policy. The current packaged `python3-qutip` (version 5.1.1-1) just contains the `core`. The reason is that the developers have "out-sourced" the plugins into fresh repositories. Therefore, I plan to make `python3-qutip` to a pure meta-package, which just contain dependencies (see end of this roadmap). I don't like to overspecify which QuTiP plugins are needed to be packaged for now. I begin with `python3-qutip-core` and will see which are required on-the-fly. 4. I will setup public Git repositories on my Salsa account at * https://salsa.debian.org/users/dj-l/projects and implement the packaging of the QuTiP packages, beginning with `python3-qutip-core`. 5. Now it's time to have access as an Uploader and hopefully have finished the NM process. To test the packages productive in Debian Unstable. Maybe that I'm wrong at this point, you are welcome for false-feedback. 6. Wait until the packages are in Debian Testing and maybe for Bug reports. 7. Remove all file contents from package `python3-qutip` and just set dependencies, i.e. `python3-qutip-core`, `python3-qutip-qip`, ..., to keep `python3-qutip` compatible to earlier Debian versions. Current uploader: Drew Parsons <dpars...@debian.org> I will link this thread to Bug#1098454 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1098454>. Greets, Dirk =)
