I'm fine with it being moved to contrib.

If you say that the code packaged for Debian does _not_ download code, then I guess this bug can be transformed into a minor bug about long description being wrong (it should reflect the _package_ not upstream, if those differ). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature

Its more vague than that. repo clones a git repo for each source repo that it manages, so it becomes something like the stuff in the .git/ subdir for git repos. That functionality comes entirely from what's packaged in Debian.
Bug#855846: repo: requires software outside of the distribution to function
Package: repo Version: 1.12.37-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2 From the package description: > repo is an unusual tool because it downloads all of its own Python > modules using GPG-signed git tags, and stores those files as part of > the project that it is working with. So this package just provides > the wrapper script, which provides the GPG signing keys for verifying > that the correct Python code was downloaded. Debian Policy § 2.2.1 says: > [...] must not require or recommend a package outside of _main_ for > compilation or execution Debian Policy § 2.2.2 says: > The _contrib_ archive area contains supplemental packages intended to > work with the Debian distribution, but which require software outside > of the distribution to either build or function. I can only read this as repo (in its current form) belongs in contrib, not main. - Jonas
