Re: Orphaning mu-editor, firmware-microbit-micropython, and their (build)-deps
> Now Keith can rebase his changes unto that. My changes involve stripping the non-DFSG elements out of the package, and that requires shipping a non-upstream .tar.gz file for the source archive. Because of that, I'm using a pure git process and not bothering to generate pristine tar bits -- there's no usable upstream tarball anyways. I'm willing to continue to maintain this package using that process, but I don't really have any interest in using the existing python packagers process because I don't think it applies in this case. -- -keith signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Orphaning mu-editor, firmware-microbit-micropython, and their (build)-deps
Hi, I did this upstream bump because I think that MR on upstream & pristine-tar brach should not be allowed. (the Games Team did received several such MR from XZ-hack "Hans Jansen" puppet socket) Now Keith can rebase his changes unto that.

It's great to hear that you're starting to use mu-editor with your kids - it's why I packaged it in the first place. Updating mu-editor, and firmware-microbit-micropython, can be challenging at times and other times straightforward, depending on the changes upstream have made. The initial packaging of the whole "stack" took a long time, as upstream deliver mu-editor, uflash and the micropython binary (one of the reasons why it's +dfsg) all together in the same project. I think it required 14 separate source packages to be built to finally get mu-editor and micropython for the micro:bit into Debian. Keith Packard (CC'd) is interested in contributing and co-maintaining mu-editor, and there is a current MR in the repo. The mu-editor repository has also just had a drive-by upstream bump to version 1.2.0 but nothing else so far... Thanks, Nick
Re: Orphaning mu-editor, firmware-microbit-micropython, and their (build)-deps
Hey Nick, Thanks for maintaining mu-editor, my kids are just getting started with it. So I might be interested in taking it over. Are the updates a lot of work? I see the tarball is tagged with dfsg so there's that... .hc Nick Morrott: Dear team, I intend to orphan two of my team maintained packages, and their several (build)-dependencies, that I originally packaged and have maintained (to varying degrees, it can be argued) since 2018. Thank you to team members who have contributed bug fixes and patches during this time. I've really appreciated it \o/. I don't have (and have not had for a while) the time to maintain all of these, so to free them up for more active development following new releases I would like to offer these to other members of the team to pick up if interested. Apologies for holding up any progress; I should have done this a while ago... I am the only Uploader on all of the packages below. If anyone is interested, please take over and replace me as the Uploader. If no one has added themselves as an uploader in Salsa within two weeks to any of the packages below, I will formally orphan them: mu-editor (new 1.2.0 version to be packaged) python-uflash (build dep, dep, new version to be packaged with mu-editor) python-nudatus (build dep, dep, up to date) python-pytest-random-order (build dep, up to date) python-guizero (dep, up to date) firmware-microbit-micropython (new 1.1.1 version to be packaged) yotta (build dep, up to date) valinor (build dep, up to date) python-project-generator (build dep, up to date) python-project-generator-definitions (build dep, up to date) mbed-test-wrapper (build dep, up to date) python-mbed-host-tests (build dep, up to date) python-mbed-ls (build dep, up to date) python-hgapi (build dep, up to date) I will also remove myself as an uploader on pytest-xvfb (leaving one other), which is a build-dep of python-guizero. With all thanks, Nick
