Hi all, 

as I discussed on IRC with mairas and renato, Debian squeeze will "very 
probably" ship pyside 0.4.0, based on a patched [0] apiextractor 0.7.0, 
generatorrunner 0.6.0 and shiboken 0.4.0.

But as of now, PySide is not really in releaseable shape, as it has many 
build-test failures. In order to detect those, I wrote a rapid shell script 
that parses the Debian build logs in order to extract which test fail where.

This will be daily updated at that URL:

http://alioth.debian.org/~odyx-
guest/packages/pyside/pyside_0.4.0-1_analysis.txt

I don't intend to report bugs for all those failures as it would be really 
cumbersome, but if you really need me to do it, I can.

As Debian is now frozen, I have only one bullet in my charger (aka I will 
have only one opportunity to get a new upstream release), and that's 0.4.0, 
so I will need patches that are based on that release. And unfortunately, I 
don't know the PySide code enough to help much, so that email is mostly a 
"call for help".

It would be really good if Debian Squeeze could get a "no build-tests 
failing" PySide as Debian Squeeze will have a long life as Stable Release 
(let's assume a 2-year release cycle). (Note by the way that AFAIK nobody 
stepped up on the Canonical/Ubuntu side to work on the pyside packaging for 
Ubuntu, so Ubuntu will get Debian Squeeze's pyside).

What do you think, what's your opinon ?

TIA, 

OdyX
