Looking for a new uploader for terminaltables and colorclass
Hi python team, I'm looking for someone to take over two python-team-maintained packages: terminaltables and colorclass. These are related packages for formatting text for output to the terminal, and both have had RFAs for a while (in CC). terminaltables has several reverse dependencies. colorclass has only 1 reverse build dependency: terminaltables. Since I last touched the packages, a new upstream maintainer has taken over both of them so the Debian packages should track the new forks and update copyright and upstream data accordingly (I filed bugs for this). Other than that, there shouldn't be much to do besides replacing me as the uploader for both packages, since the team has taken care of routine maintenance in the meantime. Thanks, Carl

Looking for new uploaders for several DPMT packages
Some time ago I started trying to prepare the dependencies of FlexGet (see https://bugs.debian.org/724718), including fixing up existing packages and adding the missing ones. That ended up being a much bigger effort than I'd anticipated, and in the meantime I'm no longer even a user of FlexGet (and I was never a direct user of its dependencies). I no longer feel I'm able to look after these packages in Debian. As such, I'm looking for people to take over the following DPMT-maintained packages where I am currently sole Uploader: - terminaltables (has rdeps) - flask-login (has 1 rdep: python3-flask-security) - rpyc (RC bugs, no rdeps, <10 popcon) * - colorclass (no rdeps, <10 popcon) * I've also removed myself as Uploader in git for the following packages where there was already a second Uploader listed: - cherrypy3 (has rdeps, well behind upstream version) - feedparser (has rdeps) - python-pynzb (no rdeps, < 10 popcon) * If I don't have any takers then I'll file RM bugs for the leaf packages (*) and RFA bugs for the two others where there is no additional Uploader. Cheers, Carl

Re: Debian package cherrypy3: Status?
Hi Stephan, Yes I attempted to update the packaging of a handful of existing python packages that I needed as dependencies. I got stuck on some of them partly because I was just learning the (python) packaging workflow and partly because I don't actually use any of those python packages. If you would like to take over and continue what I started with updating cherrypy3, or start from scratch then please do! It's still been on my radar to return to when I get more time, but I don't use cherrypy myself so I'm more than happy for someone else to pick it up. I can't recall if there was a failing build/test or if I just wasn't confident enough in the state of my packaging to ask for a sponsor before I ran out of time to work on it.

Is there still work going on, or is there some good reason not to upload? I'd offer to (add my self to Uploaders and) help here if this is just a "resource thing" ;). Thx! S
#850098 subliminal: change of upstream structure
I see that subliminal is currently using the tarballs from PyPI and then patching in the source for the nautilus extension which is of course absent from there. Also the Github-hosted tarballs include a test suite which is not in the PyPI tarballs. It seems that the upstream nautilus extension has now moved to a different dedicated upstream repo: https://github.com/Diaoul/nautilus-subliminal Unfortunately this repository does not seem to have versioned releases, and has not seen an update in several months. My thinking is that if we continue to provide the nautilus extension at all, it should be built by a new source package src:subliminal-nautilus (which could potentially also build the nemo extension provided in a different branch of the upstream repo) tracking snapshots of the upstream git. I am happy to work on this as part of packaging the latest upstream release, but I just wanted to check before I do so that: 1) the source split I proposed is sensible (if so I'll probably just drop the nautilus extension for now and reopen https://bugs.debian.org/821455 until I repackage the extension in its new home), and 2) if the split is ok, which if either Python packaging team would make a good home for the nautilus extension, and 3) it's ok to change the tarballs to the Github ones and update the d/watch accordingly. The point of this would be to be able to run the test suite. Cheers, Carl

Re: Request to join DPMT
Hi Piotr, you can now push it to our repo, welcome :) Thanks! * please use -v (and later: -p) with git commit (you sometimes commit more than what commit message says) Agreed, I'll be more careful. * don't commit changes outside debian directory, use git-dpm to create patch instead¹ Are you referring to the "Repair line ending" commits? That was just the only workaround I found after losing far too much time trying to get git (with core.autocrlf = false) and dpkg-source to ignore the non-unix line endings on two of the upstream files whenever I touched git-dpm update-patches. There must be a way to do it properly but this seemed to work. * PYBUILD_BEFORE_BUILD_* is used before invoking each² interpreter version. Does it make sense to generate a manpage (overwriting previous result) for 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 when we will support these versions? If not, please move help2man back to override_dh_auto_build target :) Thanks for pointing that out, done. Cheers, Carl

Joining DPMT and PAPT
Hi, I'm interested in joining the python teams. I'm currently working on packaging flexget (#724718 http://flexget.com/) to get it into debian, and would like to maintain it when it's finished within the applications team. Once I've learned the workflow I'd be interested in taking on more applications and modules where the effort is needed. I've read and accept both policies, though it seems like they're out of date since they're still talking about svn. My alioth username is arcresu-guest.
