Re: [gentoo-dev] New Python application with multiple new dependencies
* Mike Gilbert: > Speaking on behalf of the python team, we are not particularly keen on > maintaining libraries that are only used by a single package. We have > too many packages to care for already. I agree. I know about the various risks of dynamically installing dependencies, but "pip install X" in virtual environments is very useful nonetheless. Gentoo does not offer an equivalent (I'm not judging, just saying), and it seems to me that is causing the Python team a large amount of work, eating up resources that could be spent elsewhere. > Not everything needs to be handled in an ebuild; often it just > increases the amount of busy work you end up doing. Ebuilds are great when an application needs config files, init scripts, users/groups, and when app A connects to app B (for example, if there is a milter there will also be an MTA calling it). Two of the milters I am using happen to be written in Python. One requires pymilter, so I created a PR introducing a pymilter ebuild. I'd rather avoid that ebuild, because pymilter is an interface to libmilter and of little use of its own, but other apps depend on it. -Ralph

Not everything needs to be handled in an ebuild; often it just increases the amount of busy work you end up doing.

I agree with most of what was written in the original post, but regarding this point I'd hate to see packages maintained by a project that makes sense to be thrown into a generic maintainer-needed. We need a maintainer-needed project status, and just improve the tooling to notify this. So similar to what Alec said, but I think it's fine to throw them into the generic bucket when the maintaining project was indeed just herd-like. But I don't think we should do that for projects where it makes sense to have the packages grouped under a project. A recent example was/is MATE; an older example is maybe enlightenment. We could mark projects as maintainer-needed and have a script even add comments in metadata.xml (and a matching script to remove those, once the project status changes); have any maintainer-needed list generation consider with packages marked as maintained by such a maintainer-needed project (with some potential grouping of them together in the list), etc. This could then also be used to signify huge staffing-needs, even if someone is sort-of trying to take care of them within that project. But, as said, I agree with almost everything else mentioned in the thread starter. Mart signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

* Michał Górny: > I presume you want to proxy-maintain all of those packages. I would want to maintain the "monty" application because it offers functionality useful to me. I'm not particularly keen on maintaining Python ebuilds required as dependencies by only one application. Like everybody else, I have only a finite amount of time I can spend on Gentoo packages. I usually start with a separate venv for Python apps so I can "pip install ..." and make do without ebuilds. -Ralph P.S.: Thanks to you and Brian for your answers.
