 It's a rather strongly worded opinion; if you want to avoid flame wars, you
 might find it helpful to bring specific criticisms to the table instead of
 just declaring a solution ugly. :)

/me whinges that switching to bzr for packaging in general would be a
much nicer thing overall, since then ubuntu downstream is pretty well
bzr...

(note: I use bzr for all of my other projects, so I have a vested interest)

However... _anything_ is an improvement over svn.

 P.S. bzed, POX, isn't it time to move our packaging to git?
 
 I was planing it for a long time, but never found time to actually do it.
 
 If you volunteer to do this, please send a message to PAPT mailing list,
 wait a week and if no one will complain, go ahead and convert the
 repository. Then we'll test it for a bit and if it will work fine, we'll
 do the same with DPMT repo (which has more developers so we'll use
 hey, it's working perfectly fine in PAPT argument ;).
 
 
 BTW, I'm Piotr or Piotrek outside IRC ;-P

 Matthias also wrote me offlist, that he either prefers to stay in svn,
 or use bzr, but not git (if I understood well).

git seems to be fairly polarizing - I'm not sure why. :)

 The problem with bzr is that it seems to me it is mainly used in
 Ubuntu, but that's about it. Also compare for example the number of
 packages in the respective vcs:
 
 http://bzr.debian.org/
 http://git.debian.org/
 http://hg.debian.org/
 
 (git seems to me like a clear winner)
 
 Well, I don't mind either, I know both hg and git quite well and bzr a
 little. But I prefer to just use just one vcs for everything, and that
 is git in my case, as I think it has the biggest momentum now.

Seems like a decent enough rationale... I'm pretty-much fine with any of
them. This will give me a chance to learn a bit about git.

 You may  want to add Homepage  field to source  stanza of debian/control
 and  a debian/watch  file (this  will help  the use  of svn-buildpackage
 too).
 
 Moreover, there should  be a better way to use  Debian TinyMCE than just
 removing almost  everything with  a very large  patch. You  may consider
 adding some rm in debian/rules.

Done. Also moved from cdbs to dh7.

New version uploaded to mentors.

plywood package upload?

2003-10-30 Thread Monty Taylor
Hi guys,

I've been told that I should ask here for help with sponsoring of debian
packages that are in python. If there's anyone who would like to upload
this for me, I'd appreciate it. It's mainly just to close an NMU bug.
The relevant files can be found at 
http://debian.inaugust.com

 plywood (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Integrated changes from NMU.  (closes: #213112)
   * Made depends stricter.

Also, if anyone is interested in being an advocate, I'd appreciate it. I
seem to have fallen into a black hole of being ignored on
debian-mentors. 

Thanks!
Monty

I thought the policy was never to ask on package specific lists for 
help
with sponsoring; I could be mistaken though.
I thought the same thing. I would image that debian-mentors would be 
the more appropriate place. Anybody know for sure? In any case, thanks 
for responding.

it. It's mainly just to close an NMU bug.
You really don't need a new upload just to close an NMU bug. You can
probably wait until you have some other bugs fixed (or new features)
before uploading.
Ok then, I'll just let it hang for now. I didn't want someone to think 
I was slack on the job -- not a very good way to get in to the club. :)

Thanks again.
Monty
