-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There are a few classes of broken deps that I think need discussion to determine how to fix Lp's deps in oneiric. I and Tim are currently reading the packages that our meta packages require, and install what we can, sometimes locating older version of packages.
Special packages: The spidermonkey-bin package is a good example here. We package it because it is notoriously hard to keep current; Ubuntu does not package it amymore. I could try to copy the package the package to ~launchpad's oneiric series, but the only use of it is jslint. Oh, and I see it uses a stale version of crockerford's fulljslint in the tree. Pocketlint uses seed, which is already installed with Ubuntu, and It uses the a very recent version of fulljslint. I propose we just use pocketlint. Conflicting packages: Oneiric users cannot install launchpad because python-profiler conflicts with Python 2.6/2.7 It appears to require surgery to install. I forced it to install and it overwrote files installed by other packages. I am not familiar with the issue, but this seams like a candidate for lp packaging/egg/sourcecode to ensure the features we want are available. However, the package says it conflicts with python2.5. Do we really need this package? Can we remove it from the deps now that we use python2.6? Old packages: I have python-subunit pinned, The current version cannot be installed. This looks like a python2.7 issue. Updating Lp to python 2.7 is the official answer from Robert when he closed the bug I reported. We do not have a plan to get to 2.7. By plan, I mean a tagged bugs, committed engineers, and a release plan to make Lp run on 2.7. I do not think we want to backport python2.7 to Lucid. We could republish the the order python 2.6 packages in ~launchpad's repo. - -- Curtis Hovey http://launchpad.net/~sinzui -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk4fLtIACgkQnGlTRlchMn2YdQCfdVlovYlkRGwDZUqc1/KQSnGY 4mEAoNACzPHNagViOgwAgGwvYDJpZ8dV =wcXY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
