Hi Rodney, Martin, As part of our bug 788514 efforts to get rid of python-support and python-central on our CDs, I've run across python-oauth. There's good news and bad news ;).
The good news: Debian has version 1.0.1-3 which tracks upstream's 1.0.1, the most current release on the Cheeseshop. It has already been converted to dh_python2. The bad news: well, there's several! Since you guys are the last to touch the package on Ubuntu, I'm hoping you can shed some light. Note that AFAICT, it was last modified in Karmic. * The version numbers are borked. Ubuntu has 1.0a~svn1124-0ubuntu2 while sid has 1.0.1-3. The Ubuntu version number is higher, but it represents an older version of the upstream library. So we'll have to play games with the version numbers when we update the Ubuntu package. (e.g. 1.0a.isreally.1.0.1-3ubuntu1 or some such). * The package importer is barfing on python-oauth, so there's no Debian source branch available. This makes it more difficult to merge because even though you can import the sid .dsc (`bzr import-dsc`), there's no common ancestor for `bzr merge` to work from. * From the debian/changelog of the Ubuntu branch, it looks like Rodney and Martin have made in-tree changes, not all of which have been applied upstream. This will make it even more difficult to merge, because your fixes are more difficult to separate out. * Do we have any idea whether the rdeps on python-oauth are even compatible with the latest upstream version? And note that by "latest" I'm talking really ancient stuff anyway. The last Ubuntu package change was on 2009-09-24 while the last Cheeseshop upload was 2009-09-29. I'm not sure what to do about this package, but as we're making awesome progress on bug 788514, I'd really like to get this one resolved. Thanks for any information you can provide. -Barry
