Re: Bug#846228: Random FTBFS failures of joblib and what about team maintenance

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

As for this particular issue -- I think I have complained upstream and
it was addressed: https://github.com/joblib/joblib/issues/428 I will now
see to build/upload current upstream snapshot -- codebase seems  largely
in maintenance mode ATM

I don't mind - anyone interested helping to move?
Do you have a patch in mind by any chance for this specific issue?

Random FTBFS failures of joblib and what about team maintenance

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Yaroslav,

I just want to make some noise amongst Python experts about bug #846228.
I admit I have no idea - but since there was no response for 10 days now
several packages git a testing removal notice.

I think python-joblib has several rdepends and thus it would IMHO be
better maintained in DPMT than in a private Github repository.  What
do you think?

Kind regards

  Andreas.

Re: Binary naming for Django Related Packages

Hi,

They already partly do that, see:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/intro/reusable-apps/#packaging-your-app

They recommend a "django-" prefix in the PyPi package name. But they say
nothing about the Python module name and the sample just bundles a "polls"
module in a "django-polls" package.

Thus I posted this to gather their feedback on the need to recommend the
prefix on the name of the module too:
