One month has passed and no new spyne package has been released. Please
consider sponsoring the package. The last upload is almost four years
ago and it is RC-buggy for 11 months. There are people who depend on the
package, so it would be great to have it back in Debian again.

You did not answer to grave bug #960662 in a month so this seemed to be
the best way forward. This could have been resolved by another Python 2
only upload (from a stable version) but it seemed to me you did not care.

Apologies Bastian, I was looking at spyne's home page.  The non-alpha
version has indeed been released today.

How "released today" translates to "plenty of notice for an NMU" is
puzzling.  Why you are asking for mentors to package it given I [0]
said this is also puzzling:

   But it does seem like Spyne for Python 3 will be stable before the
   bullseye deadlines hit. And I will upload it as soon as an I am
   aware it has been released.

It is no longer marked as alpha; version 2.13.15 > 2.13.4-alpha.
Please check the RFS again.

Dear mentors,

Beware if you do NMU this it will be against the wishes of the Debian
maintainer for spyne - which is me.

The issue is the current stable upstream is does _not_ have Python 3
support.  The version of spyne that does have Python3 support "2.13.4-
alpha".

I personally use spyne in production (which is why I now maintain it). 
I do my best to avoid running code on my systems that upstream has
marked as an alpha release.

I plan to package and upload the Python3 version once it is no longer
marked as alpha code.

RFS: spyne/2.13.15-0.1 [NMU, RC] -- Python library for writing and calling soap web service

2020-06-15 Thread Bastian Germann
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the package "spyne" which has a
py2removal RC and a grave bug and was autoremoved from testing. The
package is Python 2 only but the current upstream version has Python 3
support. I converted it to build a binary python3-spyne package. The
bugs are open long enough for a NMU.

 * Package name: spyne
   Version : 2.13.15-0.1
   Upstream Author : Burak Arslan 
 * URL : http://spyne.io/
 * License : LGPL-2.1+
   Section : python

It builds those binary packages:

  python3-spyne - Python library for writing and calling soap web service

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
