Hi Benoit et al,
Having been preoccupied with other stuff the last few weeks, I only
today came to notice the devastating incident about your packages and
participation. Benoit, I respect your decisions no matter what the
reasons are but am really sorry to see you go (if that's the final
decision).
However, as a member of the PyMaemo project I'm really worried about the
fate of the pypackager and py2deb packages which allow for creating deb
packages of Python programs without resorting to the use of Scratchbox.
The functionality provided by these packages is quite essential to the
developer story of the PyMaemo project since we don't want to force
prospective PyMaemo developers to install Scratchbox and the full SDK
just to have packages created.
Also, from the PyMaemo project point of view, it's important to have any
relevant packages within the maemo.org infrastructure (although you
obviously are free not to do that yourself, this is a volunteer effort).
Hence, I'd be very interested in hearing your opinions regarding these
packages.
Would you think it's OK if we maintained the packages on the extras.*
repos? If you are still interested in developing the packages further
(at least pypackager, I understood you consider py2deb as deprecated in
any case), you could act as upstream to the PyMaemo-maintained packages
(and still maintain your own repo if you wish).
On the other hand, if you don't feel like working on them any longer, I
hope it's all right for you if we just catch the ball and adopt the
packages to PyMaemo proper. If that would be the case, would you rather
see us do a clean fork (renaming the packages and all) or would it be OK
if we just took the ownership of the current projects and carried on
from there?
In any case, I sincerely appreciate the contributions you've done to
maemo.org and PyMaemo.
Cheers,
ma.
