Re: Bug#936214: bleachbit: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye

2019-11-09 Thread Jeremy Bicha
Control: severity -1 important

It looks to me like this bug was elevated to Serious to help with the
pygtk removal from Testing, but bleachbit has already been ported away
from pygtk in Testing. Therefore, I'm lowering the severity of this
bug to prevent its autoremoval at this time.

Obviously, this bug will become RC later in the Bullseye release
cycle, but I don't think it's necessary to happen this month.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha



Request to join DPMT

Hi,

Please add me to https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/modules

My Salsa username is jbicha

I am already a member of PAPT.

I expect to help out a bit with the Python2 removals and being able to
update Salsa is helpful for that. I have experience in removing
libgnome from Debian, a major project which was finally completed
**this month** !!

I have read 
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/policy.rst
and agree to follow it.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

Hi,

Please add me to https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/applications

My Salsa username is jbicha

I believe I was a member of the old Alioth team.

I have read 
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/policy.rst
and agree to follow it. (I see that it is a bit out of date compared
to https://wiki.debian.org/Python/GitPackaging but there are merge
proposals to update it.)

My initial interest is in packaging pdfarranger, a fork of
pdfshuffler, to allow us to remove python-poppler from Debian. I
intend to add a transitional package for Buster to upgrade pdfshuffler
users. I'll be filing an ITP.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

I haven't seen any evidence that anyone except Arch has any intention
to do that.

2011/10/12 Tanguy Ortolo tanguy+deb...@ortolo.eu:
 As I have just joined (thank you Piotr!) the python-apps project on
 Alioth, I would like to introduce myself.

Welcome!

 I am a package maintainer since 2010, Debian Maintainer and on my way to
 become a Debian Developer. I am currently maintaining 5 packages, 2 of
 which are Python-based packages: autojump and itstool.

 So, I have joined python-apps in order to include at least one of my
 packages, itstool, into it. The practical reason for that is that I need
 sponsoring, and that it seems to be easier this way, but I guess there
 will be other benefits too; I must also say that I never worked in a
 Debian team before.

itstool is not Python. Perhaps itstool could be part of the Debian
GNOME team as the upstream developer (Shaun) is a GNOME developer and
I think it's so far only used by GNOME-ish apps.

 For now, it is only used by one package of mine, in fact. :-)
 But that may change and it is a generic tool that could be used by
 people outside of GNOME.

 But although it is not part of Python, it is written in Python and I
 think this is the point of PAPT, am I mistaking?

itstool is also a dependency of yelp-tools which is a dependency of
gnome-user-docs. While there's nothing preventing it to be used by any
app, I think that it will be picked up by GNOME faster.

The only Python script I found in itstool was one to run the testcases
(which also include po and pot files); everything else is XML. Anyway,
I'm definitely not very active with Debian Python so it's not my place
to say whether it should or should not be in PAPT.

 How did you come to that conclusion? The main script, itstool itself, is
 written in Python! My package does not depend on python for no reason…

Ah, I see. I was looking for a .py extension. Sorry about that.

RFS: kabikaboo (new package)

2009-12-24 Thread Jeremy Bicha
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package kabikaboo.

  Package name: kabikaboo
  Version   : 1.7-1
  Upstream Author : Dave Kerrr aid...@shaw.ca, Jeremy Bicha jer...@bicha.net
  URL   : https://launchpad.net/kabikaboo
  License  : GPL-2+, documentation GFDL 1.1+
  Section  : text
  Programming Languages: Python, PyGTK

It builds these binary packages:
kabikaboo  - Writing Assistant

The package appears to be lintian clean.

My motivation for maintaining this package is:

Kabikaboo aims to make the author's life easier by providing a way to edit
and organize a collection of related text files. The program is a tree-based
note pad, designed to help you plan a book or complex project.

Kabikaboo is unique in that there are almost no open source programs aimed
at the novelist or book-writer. Latex, mind-mapping, and word processors
are useful but have a significantly different purpose.

I have worked with Dave extensively on Kabikaboo 1.7. Now that 1.7 is released
(this week) I plan to do the work necessary to get in the Debian
repository. Dave
supports me working on this packaging on his behalf.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kabikaboo
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kabikaboo/kabikaboo_1.7-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
 Jeremy Bicha
