Jakub Wilk jw...@debian.org writes: rawdog.py:36 - catch ImportError; rawdog.py:41 - ditto; You'll get ImportError if the module's missing. If the module's present but raises an exception during initialisation then rawdog should still fall back to the alternative, rather than crashing. rawdog.py:297 - catch UnicodeError; Nope; it's got to deal with the wacky behaviour of any subclass of str, and a mis-decoded string is preferable to a crash (as it is elsewhere in rawdog and feedparser). That bit of code existed originally because BeautifulSoup did highly entertaining things with string subclassing, and rawdog needs to be robust in flattening whatever feedparser returns back to standard Python types so it can reliably pickle them. Strings are less of a concern now that feedparser's use of BeautifulSoup is explicitly disabled, although the dict flattening is still important for feedparser's results. rawdog.py:1217 - catch AttributeError. Hmm. The behaviour's the same either way, but it's not consistent: I'm catching AttributeError in the other places where I'm looking for attributes added during the 2.x series, so I'll change that in the next upstream release.

(I don't intend to sponsor this package. Sorry!) * Adam Sampson a...@offog.org, 2013-07-27, 19:24: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rawdog/rawdog_2.16-1.dsc Please honour DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck.

If yes, then the package name should be python-rawdoglib (or at least there should be Provides: python-rawdoglib). Otherwise, they should be moved to a private directory. I've also asked if the python-apps-team would like it. We would! :) You are welcome to join the team to maintain the package with us. (Although apparently we are quite sponsor-starved.) * Update package to debhelper 9 (using python2) I would have no idea what this means if I didn't read the debdiff... -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package rawdog. Package name: rawdog Version : 2.16-1 Upstream Author : Adam Sampson a...@offog.org (i.e. me) URL : http://offog.org/code/rawdog/ License : GPL-2+ Section : web It builds those binary packages: rawdog - RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/rawdog Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rawdog/rawdog_2.16-1.dsc I'm the upstream maintainer of rawdog; I'd like to adopt the existing package, which was built by Decklin Foster but is currently orphaned. (I've tried to contact Decklin but had no luck; I've also asked if the python-apps-team would like it.) More information about rawdog can be obtained from: http://offog.org/code/rawdog/ Changes since the last upload: * New maintainer (Closes: #660507) * New upstream release (Closes: #651080) * Remove Debian patch that replaced feedfinder; this was merged upstream and extended in rawdog 2.15. (Closes: #650776, #657206) * Depend on python-feedparser, which is no longer bundled with upstream rawdog. (Closes: #383422) * Recommend python-tidylib. * Update package to debhelper 9 (using python2) and Standards-Version 3.9.4. * Update package description. * Add a watch file. * Put the copyright file into machine-readable form. * Install the upstream changelog. To clone the Git repo for the debian/ directory: git clone http://offog.org/git/rawdog-debian.git Thanks very much, -- Adam Sampson a...@offog.org http://offog.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
