After reflection, I am not willing to take the personal responsibility
of this package anymore, as I have no personal need for MongoDB. I was
just willing to port this to DPT and be done with it, but it is not a
sustainable approach.
The first cleanup step is available in the Python team's pymongo repository:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pymongo
Additional work needed before integration in python-team can be done:
18:59:46 gagath: for pymongo, the copyright has outdated
info and years for upstream, multiple missing copyright holders and
licenses (including most of those listed in upstream's
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file); source field points to broken site (returns
empty document)
19:00:15 control: vcs urls outdated, homepage broken
(consider setting it to the upstream github)
19:01:29 please document why the package needs to stay
on v3 (and if possible, what obstacles have to be cleared before it
could move on to v4)
19:01:51 there's an empty patches dir; looks like
patches were removed without mention in the changelog?
19:02:05 what is the "mangle in personal devscripts
instead" entry in the changelog supposed to mean?
Bests
