Re: [backintime] Switch the maintainer to "Debian Python Team (DPT)"

I'm sure he makes a good job as DM. But other packages might have higher

upstream maintainer I miss the dialog with "my distro maintainer". Also 
there was a RFS [2] without concrete response/decision. It wasn't clear 
to me if it wasn't uploaded because of the Freeze or just because no one 
was there to do it.


(just for the avoidance of confusion, I'm an entirely different Jonathan)

You're very likely correct that the freeze impacted the upload. To 
upload newer versions of software (even for bug fixes) so late in the 
freeze, you have to write a proper justification to the release team and 
convince them that the benefit of the upload outweighs the risk, so in 
the last few weeks of the freeze, very few packages get updated.


Adding DPT to at least uploaders and having the package VCS in the 
python-team namespace would probably be a good idea, but that's up to 
Jonathan Wiltshire.

I saw some discussion about this before, and it does sound nice, but it
would require change to a few thousand packages to handle such a
transition, where adding python3-full doesn't really add work for anyone
except maintaining another meta-package.

Sponsorship queue

[Jonathan Carter]

Hey Debian Pythonistas

Our sponsorship requests from our IRC topic has gotten a bit long again,
if you could even set some time aside to help with just one package, it
would help a lot.

The current topic is:

"""
-!- Topic for #debian-python: Remove py2!
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal | → #debian-python-changes |
DPMT+PAPT → Salsa http://deb.li/PyGit | DPMT [python-blosc,
python3-cachy, pep8-naming, libcloud, drf-generators, cheetah,
python-mongoengine, python-jellyfish, python-marshmallow-polyfield,
anorack, automat, mwclient, python-sabyenc, python-opcua, pdfminer,
python3-pgspecial, gpxpy] | PAPT [nfoview, bui
"""

If you're not on irc, feel free to reply to this list to let us know
that you've either sponsored or provided feedback to the uploader, and
we'll go ahead and remove it form the topic.

thanks!

Ok, thanks. I'll check on a chroot on my system later too to try to see

Sponsorship backlog

[Jonathan Carter]

Hey Pythonistas

The sponsorship request queue in the IRC topic is getting a bit long
again, I'll try to make time for as many of these as possible this week,
but if anyone can help reviewing these packages from the IRC topic (and
then removing them) then that would be great:

python-babel, gpxpy, pyparsing, python-progress, python-urllib3,
geoalchemy2, python-marshmallow-polyfield, python-mongoengine,
python-nest-asyncio, djangorestframework-api-key, aionotify,
python-fastjsonschema, python-cassandra-driver

Merge Requests

[Jonathan Carter]

Hey debian python team

We currently have a few merge requests open:

== tools ==

Count: 6

https://salsa.debian.org/groups/python-team/tools/-/merge_requests

== papt ==

Count: 8

https://salsa.debian.org/groups/python-team/applications/-/merge_requests

== dpmt ==

Count: 31

https://salsa.debian.org/groups/python-team/modules/-/merge_requests


I merged a bunch of trivial ones yesterday, but even then it seems like
we have some problems which might need some update in our policy in
dealing with merge requests.

I noticed that one MR fixed some typos but did it in the upstream source
directly, which isn't all that useful to us.

For other MRs, I noticed that many small changes in the packaging didn't
have an associated changelog entry with it, so I had to dch to add a
changelog entry. I think for small changes I'd prefer the person who
submits the MR to add them. For larger ones it probably makes sense not
to do that since it might take longer.

Any suggestions? How about we draft some MR policy in gobby and get it
added to the PAPT/DPMT policies?

It ended up being trivial to package, it's now in NEW for ftpmaster review.

Do you intend to orphan these packages, or do you prefer that python
team takes care of these until you're back?

Ah right, I was a bit too quick to jump on that mail (and yes it does

That's weird, this program is written in C and contains no python

There will be a few python-team members here during DebCamp, so if you
need reviewing of any uploads that shouldn't be a problem.

[request for team help] pythonqt bug #916317

[Jonathan Carter]

Hi

I was tempted to file an RFH but since it's a team maintained package I
thought that taking it to the list might be better:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=916317

I tried adding python3-all-dev as a build-dependency and adding
'python3: Depends' to the binary package build-depends but that didn't
seem to have much effect.

If someone could look at it and take care of that (since I'm running
really short on time at the moment) that would be very much appreciated :)

I think you have to click on 'request access' on

How is it going with your nm process? Has it stalled? I'm happy to help

python-gdata in svn

[Jonathan Carter (highvoltage)]

Hi Andreas

I see that you have worked on updating the python-gdata package to the
latest upstream version (2.0.13).

Is it ready to be uploaded? Is there anything that still needs to be done?

Thanks and have a great day!

-Jonathan
