Let's merge the projects.

There is only 3 of us and I think it would be best to be part of a large

Indeed. I added the 3 members of pkg-turbogears in the python-modules
alioth project. Let's go for it!

 This is just for core python right?

Yeah, pkg-python would be just core python. But python-modules is more
general purpose.

 Just want to make sure I understand the thread, python package projects,
 like pkg-turbogears are to remain separate?

Does gaupol [1] qualify? It is rather standalone application than a

Hi Piotr,

The simple rule is that if i can import gaupol and it will be really
useful for any other python application (packaged or not), it could be
into the team. I think that gaupol itself don't qualify, but what's
the status of pyenchant ? It's a gaupol dependency, right ? Sounds
like a python-modules valid candidate.

Thanks,

There is an ITP bug reported against this package (package itself is
available at mentors.debian.net), but it is little old - there are 2 new
upstream versions. I'll ask author if he still wants to maintain it.

   Even though you may think you are not experienced enough, it seems you

  He would like to tie this transition with the new infrastructure for

 [just realized that my mail did go to Raphael only, not intended]

 Raphael, thanks for your interest. It's true that I did not respond to
 emails ignoring our discussions from January and February on this very
 list.  It would be nice to build on these discussions for the
 transition.  Any news from your side?  I think I did make it clear,
 that we should get away from the transition system for all kind of
 packages and implemented that (but side-tracked by other work in the
 last month).  Please expect an update from this at this weekend.

I think everyone is agreed that we want greater automization of python
transitions, but the longer this is postponed, the more problematic this
becomes for etch.  It's my impression that there is enough untapped manpower
available to work on starting this transition the old, hard way that it's
not to our advantage to continue postponing it due to the promise of better
methods -- when those methods will still require sourceful uploads for the
first round of implementation anyway.

I think it's now been about a month since I suggested that we should focus
on implementing the python infrastructure in a piece-wise manner in order to
get this transition moving along; and still there's been no visible progress
in that time, which makes that another month we could've used to start on
this the hard way. :/  It would certainly be easier to do the transition
using the new infrastructure, but that still blocks on having that
infrastructure in place.

I can only agree. The move to python 2.4 is an urgent matter, as too
many things are depending on it now. If some new framework is developed,
it will take several months before it is used in enough packages to be
useful, and several more months is too much.

I fully agree with Joss.

Can we have an Alioth group created? And a TODO list, possibly, so that
as we are already more than just two guys we can start working on

There's already a python-modules Alioth project and during the BSP next
week, it may be a good time to suggest those maintainers to join the team
and integrate their packages.

I'll try to finish the documentation and make an announce this WE if
possible.

For the maintenance of the core python packages, Matthias is the
Maintainer and even if there's a pkg-python Alioth project, he hasn't yet
started to use it.

OK, thanks to everyone who volunteered so far. There's already a
pkg-python Alioth project and an associated SVN repository. Right now it's
empty but Matthias will start using it this week-end (if all goes well).

http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-python/
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-python/

Given that 5-6 persons volunteered, Matthias probably won't give write
access to everybody directly. So the right course of action is to make use
of the Package Tracking System to subscribe to the various python source
packages:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python-defaults.html
http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python2.4.html
http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python2.3.html

And start helping out by submitting patches to the BTS, by forwarding bugs
upstream, doing bug triaging and so on. After some time I'm confident that
Matthias will add you to the Alioth project.

FWIW, seconded. Please just upload python2.4 as the default python
version. We have enough time get the infrastructure in place and attempt the
automated transition for python2.5.

New python maintenance team

2006-04-06 Thread Raphael Hertzog
Hello everybody,

given that Matthias doesn't respond to our mails concerning the
maintenance of python and the switch to python2.4 by default, it
should be time to initiate the movement (with or without him).

The first python2.5 alpha release is out, and maybe the new team could
start with that: packaging python2.5 in experimental along with 
preparing the switch to python2.4.

I'm not experienced enough with Python to lead such a maintenance
team, but I'm looking forward to such a team. 

Who would be interested to help ? 

I can at least create an alioth project if nobody steps up as a leader for
that ...

I'm sure one or more teams could be useful, packagers should be able
to decide on their own if they want to join a team.  There are lot of
packages, where people did ask for maintainance (i.e. python-xml), but
got no response. On the other teams like deb-scipy seem to just work.
