* Package name : deb822 Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Dann Frazier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://free.linux.hp.com/~jswright/deb822/trunk * License : GPL Programming Lang: Python Description : Read and manipulate RFC822-like files (e.g. .dsc and .changes) deb822 abstractifies the RFC822 format used in Debian's control files. You can use a deb822 object like a Python dictionary, referring to control fields as dictionary keys. . deb822 also has some convenient features that arespecific to Debian's .dsc and .changes files. It was originally written for the packaging of SystemImager, in order to merge multiple .changes files. It can also give you a list of all the files mentioned in a control file in a convenient form. Naturally, the binary package would be named python-deb822. This is a polished version of dannf's deb822.py module he uses for SystemImager packaging and for kernel.debian.net's archive. We agreed that it should be Debian-native, and that I could maintain the package. (I'm not sure if an ITP is technically required for Debian-native packages, but I'm submitting this to be safe, and to get feedback.) The URI above is actually a bzr (Bazaar-NG) branch. Note that the "working tree" doesn't automatically get updated, so the files you see there when using a web browser may be out of date. To check out the current source, please use bzr: $ bzr branch http://free.linux.hp.com/~jswright/deb822/trunk deb822 It's just about ready to be uploaded. If you have any suggestions before then, please let me know. A link to a bzr branch would be preferred for code changes, but a diff is, of course, welcome.
