No, I don't know him. A couple of years ago I decided to not maintain the Debian package anymore (I had switched to another distro), and asked for a new maintainer. I suppose this is when Wen enter into play, but unfortunately we never interchanged a single message. > Since PyTables version currently in debian is outdated (2.1.2) my idea > was to maintain a temporary debian branch (on PyTabes or on my personal > area) to update the package an migrate it to dh7 and dh_python2. > > In this way it should be easier for debian developers to push 2.3 in the > main archive when it will be ready. > Another possibility is to keep the debian directory in the repo, but remove it from the source tarball (i.e. remove debian/ from MANIFEST.in). Wait... I've just check this and the debian directory is not included anymore. I suppose this should be fine, right? > Well, I performed a quick test (not --heavy) with numpy 1.6.1 on ubuntu > 11.04 amd64 and all seems to work.

Sure: http://www.pytables.org/moin/PyTablesPro There there are listed mainly three capabilities: OPSI indexes, the improved cache subsystem, and the professional installer. You want to mention only the first two, and OPSI is, by far, the most exciting one :) > Do we also need to test various combination of python version and libraries? > > python 2.6/2.7 > hdf5 1.8.x/1.6.10 (maybe only 1.8) > numpy 1.4.x/1.5.x/1.6.x No, I usually test just for latest releases of everything.
