Bug#946031: ITP: sgmllib3k -- Python 3 port of Python 2's sgmllib

[Mikhail Gusarov]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mikhail Gusarov 

* Package name: sgmllib3k
  Version : 1.0.0
  Upstream Author : Virgil Dupras 
* URL : https://pypi.org/project/sgmllib3k/
* License : PSF-2
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Python 3 port of Python 2's sgmllib

sgmllib was dropped from the Python standard library in Python 3. This
package provides a port of the library to Python 3.

This package is needed as a new dependency of archmage package version 0.4.0.

archmage < 0.4.0 required Python 2 and used sgmllib package from standard 
library,
archmage 0.4.0 supports Python 3, but requires this out-of-stdlib package.

I'll go this route: more aesthetically pleasing compared to Debian- prefix.

Also, ps. I'm still in awe regarding ability of CFEngine to reliably
match processes

rspamd user/group for rspamd package

[Mikhail Gusarov]

Hi.

I'd like to check with you that it is ok to create
dynamically-allocated system user and group `rspamd' for package
`rspamd' (bug #683746).

Best regards,

 DS> The Debian Policy [2] has two places in which it says something

Let me elaborate a bit. Publican is pure-Perl application with
arch-indep data stored under /usr/share/Publican.

8.2 talks about shared library support files, and recommends using
/usr/share/ in order to avoid conflicts between libfooN and
libfooM.

10.7.3 talks about `package-configure' auxiliary files for maintainer
scripts, Publican does not use such thing.

10.7.3 refers to /usr/share/ and /usr/lib/, though
there is no requirement to use such directories, so I'd change it to say
`arch-indep or arch-dep directories used by package'.

This libary serves as an advanced lexer for (GNU) makefiles. It
loselessly parses makefiles as "documents". The results are data
structures similar to DOM trees, holding every single bit of the
information in the original input files, including white spaces,
blank lines and makefile comments, so it's possible to reproduce
the original makefiles from the DOM trees. In addition, each node
of the DOM trees is modifiable and so is the whole tree.

pyinotify is known for several (two? can't remember exactly) API breaks,

clive: volatile or not-for-stable?

[Mikhail Gusarov]

Hello,

Package I maintain (clive) relies in functioning on external resources
(YouTube, GoogleVideo and less known ones) which change frequently. This
means clive need to be regularely updated to continue to function.

I suppose clive should not be included in stable release due to such
unsatisfactory state of things, but what should I do instead? I've read
debian-volatile procedures and it seems quite restrictive - upload only
by maintainer, and I'm not a DD (yet) and unclear.

Is it ok just to file RC bug "Should not enter testing" and forget about
the problem with clive in stable releases forever?

python-sphinx or sphinx?

Gentlemen,

I'm going to package tool called Sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/) -

In ITP (#474782) I chose package name to be 'python-sphinx', however
then the package will be thought as containing just python modules.

Is it ok to go ahead and use such generic package name as 'sphinx',

There is no package named 'xv' in either stable, testing or

mueller: dictd (>= 1.10.1) | any-other-dict-server dependency

[Mikhail Gusarov]

Gentlemen,

what's the best way to handle the following dependency problem:

mueller7-dict package is UTF-8 encoded and requires one of the
following dict servers to operate:

* dictd (<< 1.10.1) with --locale=xx_XX.UTF-8 in config
* dictd (>= 1.10.1)
* serpento (as the only one more dict server in Debian providing dict-server)

Handling of first case currently involves debconf questions and
patching dictd config, other ones do not require any handling.

I would like to drop first case completely (as dictd << 1.10.1 is only
in Sarge) to simplify things. However, it is unclear for me how to
declare dependencies properly.

Current situation is "Depends: dictd | dict-server". Changing it to
"Depends: dictd (>= 1.10.1) | dict-server" is incorrect as dictd (<<
1.10.1) provides dict-server. Changing it to "Depends: dictd (>=
1.10.1) | serpento" makes life harder if someone wants to add another
dict server to Debian.
