ok -- few more points * is it really necessary to depend on +dfsg'ed version of sphinx? i.e.
python-sphinx (>= 1.0.7+dfsg) unless strictly needed, I would appreciate if it becomes python-sphinx (>= 1.0.7~) asking because in NeuroDebian we still carry backport of 1.0.7-2 ;) * upstream provides a mighty unittest battery. minimalistic/default version ran in 280 sec on my box, so imho acceptable and desired to be enabled to be ran during package build time. I have ran it simply through PYTHONPATH=$PWD/.. python -c 'import tables; tables.test() from build directory after building extensions in place. Ideally it should imho be ran against version "installed" under debian/. I enable testing for all of my packages where there are tests batteries and it has been proven indispensable especially for reliable backporting * debhelper 8 -- may be I have missed some news (I am somewhat non-compliant myself and using 7 for the sake of easy backports for elderly releases), but why (>= 8.1.0) and not just (>= 8) (squeeze carries 8.0.0) Cheers, On Tue, 17 Jan 2012, Yaroslav Halchenko wrote: > first of all -- thanks for all the work!!! > My quick take would be: > * I would have added debian/README.source to describe that .orig > fetched from GIT tarball directly so would not match upstream's > source distribution tarball > * > -Maintainer: Wen Heping <wenhep...@gmail.com> > +Maintainer: Debian Science Maintainers > <debian-science-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> > +Uploaders: Wen Heping <wenhep...@gmail.com>, Antonio Valentino > <antonio.valent...@tiscali.it> > +DM-Upload-Allowed: yes > I think > - premature for DM-Upload-Allowed (nothing personal but at least I > would not sponsor upload then, since I am not very familiar with > Antonio's work (yet)) > - I would drop Wen altogether > * building it now so might whine a bit more later on ;-) > Thanks once again! > On Tue, 17 Jan 2012, Yaroslav Halchenko wrote: > > Hi guys -- sorry, this email slipped through my eyes ;) > > > PS: Yaroslave can you read all the thread 641485 and gives you opinion. > > if you meant > > - should we get a new version -- SURE > > - should we wait longer for original maintainer to reply -- NO > > his uploads were sponsored and he was inactive for way to long to > > indicate that he cares at all > > - maintaining under debian-science team umbrella -- SURE > > on my side -- I will have a look at package either it is easily > > backportable -- =------------------------------------------------------------------= Keep in touch www.onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko www.ohloh.net/accounts/yarikoptic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
