That would almost certainly be such code duplication, but I don't know how much. We've already reimplemented a few things devscripts does, and wrapped around others in our Python libraries. However, the only cases I can think of: A superset of dget in ubuntutools.archive (used by pull-*-source). An rmadison wrapper function (in the same module) Config file parsing (we share the descripts conf files) in ubuntutools.config. We did this slightly differently to devscripts in the end (environment variable support), although I started with a devscripts-like approach (although using pythons shlex module instead of running bash). Glad to hear devscripts will gain a similar library. Given the diversity of scripts, I don't think code duplication problem will be too bad. But I see the desire to prefer one language, in your shoes I'd do so too. > If you'd like to stage changes in a personal repository on git.d.o and > get reviews first as you get familiar with devscripts and Perl, I'd be > glad to work with that. I guess I should take up this offer and also try and get my teeth into devscripts. Unfortunately my time is also rather scarce at the moment, so no promises.
