New package, pyqt-qwt

[Guðjón Guðjónsson]

Hi list

I have made a new package that I want to get into Debian.

dget http://gudjon.org/debian/source/pyqt-qwt_1.00.00-1.dsc

It builds on Qt5, python3 and Qwt6 and I hope it will replace
pyqwt5 which only supports Qt4, Qwt5.

Any comments on upstream/packaging are welcome but I would
like to upload it to DPMT asap.

Regards
Gudjon

I'd expect it to already support python3, you just need to change d/rules.

A, thanks for opening my eyes. ;-)

May be the clue is to make this python3-ish ...

On the other hand, this might mean that the original packager Mathieu
Malaterre intentionally had created a module.  Mathieu, can you please
enlighten us about your intention?  The package has a few users
according to popcon but my capacity to keep your leftovers alife is
limited and without some clear statement about your packaging intentions
it is a bit hard to do a sensible Python3 move.

Kind regards

Andreas.

$ apt-cache rdepends python-tifffile
python-tifffile
Reverse Depends:
  med-imaging
  med-imaging-dev

The former maintainer has just put it in Debian Med without any
explanation.  It is also mentioned in the med-imaging tasks but no
other dependant packages I'm aware of.

Kind regards

   Andreas.

please also move the module to private dir by passing this option to
setup.py:

  --install-lib=/usr/lib/tifffile

or if you decide to use pybuild:

  export PYBUILD_INSTALL_ARGS=--install-lib=/usr/lib/tifffile


if you don't want to mess with PYTHONPATH, install script there as well
(--install-scripts=/usr/lib/tifffile) and symlink /usr/bin/foo to
/usr/lib/tifffile/yourscript

I could have a look at it. Do you reckon why the package was needed
originally? I am surprised it landed in d-med, so perhaps there is another
package needing it?

python-minimal is 2.x, you don't need it.
As the auto-detected python_distutils system assumes python2 you need to
move to pybuild or manual setup.py calls.

Wrong: debian/patches/setuppy.patch adds it.

Several questions regarding package tifffile

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I realised that upstream of tifffile[1] switched to Python3.  When
inspecting the package I somehow think that its main purpose is rather a
user application than a Python module and thus I would rather rename the
binary from python-tifffile to tifffile than python3-tifffile.  What do
you think?

As per [2] I added dh-python to the Build-Depends but it seems I would
need python-minimal in addition to get /usr/bin/pyversions.  For me it
is a bit strange to realise that this basic functionality is not provided
by dh-python "Depends: python-minimal".  Am I missing something?

It also seems that a Build-Depends: python3-distutils and if I add it it
tries to do "python setup.py clean -a" which is stupid since there is no
setup.py (and also no python but only python3).  I wonder whether I'm
missing something here as well in this very simple package which does
not seem to work well with dh-python.

BTW, I'd be *really* happy if somebody from Python team would take over
this package into Python packaging team.  I just adopted it from a
former Debian Med team member but it is not Debian Med specific at all
and I have no real interest in this package.

Kind regards

   Andreas.
