RFS: python-sshpt (2nd try)
Dear mentors and Python mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package python-sshpt. * Package name: python-sshpt Version : 1.1.2-1 Upstream Author : Dan McDougall youknow...@youknowwhat.com * URL : http://code.google.com/p/sshpt/ * License : GPL-3 Section : python It builds these binary packages: python-sshpt - Application and Python module to perform tasks over simultaneous SSH sessions Description: The SSH Power Tool (sshpt) enables you to execute commands and upload files to many servers simultaneously via SSH without using pre-shared keys. Uploaded files and commands can be executed directly or via sudo. Connection and command execution results are output in standard CSV format for easy importing into spreadsheets, databases, or data mining applications. sshpt is designed to be easily imported as a module so that any Python application can quickly and easily be given the ability to SSH into a large number of hosts to gather information or perform administrative tasks. The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 558311 My motivation for maintaining this package is: I use this package at work. I find this tool very handy/simple/efficient and upstream seems to be very responsive. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/python-sshpt - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/python-sshpt/python-sshpt_1.1.2-1.dsc I would be glad if someone reviewed/uploaded this package for me.

I am quite amazed, even if it looks like a strange hack to me. It's not a hack, it's an old, documented behaviour. And sometimes annoying. I have seen command examples in manpages that used fancy Unicode quotes, and didn't work when copied and pasted into a shell. Blame the one who wrote a buggy manpage, not groff.

Re: RFS: collectl
Hello Tim, I just uploaded the new collectl release. Lintian -pendantic complains with: I: collectl source: build-depends-without-arch-dep bash and I: collectl: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/collectl.1.gz:41 I'm not sure what to do about the new build-depends-without-arch-dep. If I set in the control file Build-Depends-Indep it complains about: E: collectl source: clean-should-be-satisfied-by-build-depends quilt E: collectl source: clean-should-be-satisfied-by-build-depends debhelper Bug in lintian? And at least for now I do not plan to fix hyphen-used-as-minus-sig. Any chance you could upload the new package?

However, I may be missing where it's documented. `` and '' have been converted to paired quotes by troff for years, though, so it is a commonly-implemented feature of the underlying format. I would call this a substandard rendering of the quotes by the nroff front-end, not a deficiency in the format. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
