MBF for python-support removal
Hi, as discussed on a thread on debian-python mailing list [0], I'd like to start a MBF against about 420 packages [1] to propose the removal of the deprecated python-support. A couple of lintian tags have been around for about one year and a half, allowing us to reduce the total number of affected packages, but from the graphs it seems the curve is no longer decreasing, therefore this request to speed up the migration to dh_python[23]. I'd like to work on this in the coming days if rough consensus is reached, feel free to raise your objections/suggestions!

Although this could be possible, a second upload would be needed anyway (hopefully in a very short timeframe), so reuploading a fixed package to NEW would avoid wasting bandwith and disk space on mirrors and snapshot.d.o.

Uploading packages in NEW which depend on other packages in NEW is fine, as explained above. Dependencies will be reviewed first, and when accepted, the other packages will be processed as well. The major difficulty happens when the dependency chain is very complex (e.g. A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> A), in that case it would help if maintainers suggested the order in which to review packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Comments and rejects are issued during package review. Most of the packages are accepted without remarks, some of them have a longer path. I know the frustration of waiting for two months or more, and then having your package rejected for just a few comments, but that is why the NEW queue is in place, and maintainers sometimes have to face a "try again". > And this isn't a explanation for *completely new*, (and thus no r-deps, > thus no transition) packages. > > (And no, I didn't get a comment.) As I outlined in my previous message, we're in a phase in which we receive more packages than we're able to process, due to internal factors (our team is made of five members, while active developers are about five hundred), or external (some of us have been busy elsewhere, rationales are better explained in other mailinglists). binary-NEW packages are usually processed first due to dak sorting, and the NEW queue is not generally processed as FIFO, so it can happen a package is processed way later even if it has been uploaded earlier. >>On the other hand, FTP Team is willing to fast-track NEW packages anytime, > > I know, and afaicr I went this way (or /query ansgar), too and I am very > grateful for that. > > It's more cumbersome than it needs to be, though. In a perfect world there wouldn't be any need for a NEW queue at all. But we have to face with the reality. We try to do our best to improve things where we can. From the FTP Team side, we always try to be quick and helpful with our fellow developers, and are happy to hear about suggestions how to improve further. On the other hand, please bear with us a little more when packages are not processed so quickly. FTP Team is not just pressing a button.

NEW processing during freezes (Was: R 3.0.0 and required rebuilds of all reverse Depends: of R)
[ This is just my personal point of view, not necessarily the one of the FTP Team ] 2013/4/1 Rene Engelhard >> Even if you think there are a few days between the time taken to process >> NEW for experimental vs NEW for unstable, I've seen no evidence of that >> and it's not as if a few days are really going to matter. (If it's that >> critical, find a webhost running Debian and install reprepro.) > > A few days? There's stuff there *for months*? True. But most of the packages that currently are on top of the NEW queue would have introduced transitions if FTP Team blindly had accepted them, and we agreed with Release Team to keep them in the queue to avoid potential breakages, given that at the time we just entered the Wheezy freeze. We sent emails to maintainers to inform them about the reasons behind the delay, and we offered to accept packages targeted to experimental instead. I think this is a good approach. Some other packages are stuck in the queue pending an answer from their maintainers about some concerns FTP Team raised. There's little FTP Team can do other than wait for actions from maintainers. Since July 1st (first day of Wheezy freeze), we have the following figures: * 2085 NEW packages received (7.694 per day) * 1379 were accepted (5.089 per day) * 213 were rejected (0.786 per day) * 130 generated comments from FTP Team (0.480 per day) During the freeze, the number of NEW packages received dropped by a half if compared to the average during active development (about 14,85 packages each day), so the number of actions by the FTP Team (about 13.5 accepts, 1.2 rejects, 0.5 comments each day). The above figures are normal during freezes, both maintainers and FTP Team members are focused on other tasks (releasing Wheezy is, of course, one of them!). Maintainers upload packages more often than FTP Team is willing to process them (about 1,8 packages every day), that explains the recent NEW queue growth. Just for the record, FTP Team managed to keep the NEW queue around ten packages for more than one year and a half, average processing time was less than two days. Also, FTP Team processed almost two hundred packages just before the freeze to give maintainers a chance to make their packages into Wheezy (and most of them did!). On the other hand, FTP Team is willing to fast-track NEW packages anytime, if needed. Asking for a pacakge acceptance in #debian-ftp is always worth it, and rarely these requests are not taken into consideration (as it happened for some gcc/clang packages, or GNOME ones). If you need actions from FTP Team, feel free to talk to us and we will be happy to help you. Cheers, Luca

[RFC] License text parser and converter
DEP-5 is a good step forward to standardize copyright information. While it's indeed useful to determine a license type, there's no guarantee stand-alone license paragraphs or license headers are accurate (i.e. typos, GPL-2 license header while declaring GPL-2+), or canonically formatted (i.e. 72-char lines vs. 80-char lines, different spacing or indentation). Plus, some license text are not expressed in RFC822 syntax, and maintainers must adapt it to fit into DEP-5. As a reference, take MPL license, which is very long and fullfilled with spacing, converting it by hand is definitely time-consuming and error prone. I'd like to ask the following questions: * Is there a tool which, given a license text in raw format, converts it to match RFC822 syntax? * In case it exists, is it able to perform sanity checks on the licenses (i.e. license text matches intended one)? * In case it doesn't exist yet, would it be worth implementing it? * Which language would you use to implement it? I guess the answer to the last question would be Perl, as several related tools use Perl already (think of lintian, or libconfig-model-perl), but I suspect other scripting languages could fit as well.

List of override disparities
Policy § 2.5 [0] states packages must not depend on other packages with lower priority values. In order to better adhere to it, FTP Team recently implemented a new tool that generates a list of override disparities[1] daily. We export a yaml-formatted list, limited to the affected packages only, with this group of attributes: * package name * maintainer * priority * dependencies with their overrides Feel free to look at the list and eventually report a bug against ftp.debian.org pseudo-package to ask for override adjustments or adjust your package. Please adjust this template as your subject string to ease the FTP Team's job: override: packagename:section/priority Please keep in mind that override disparities are neither RC bugs to flood squeeze with nor do they need a mass bug filing for all the packages (or flooding ftp.debian.org with). Instead, simply adjust your package when you agree that your package is wrong, or file a bug on ftp.debian.org having us change the overrides for your package, when you think our overrides are wrong.

Waiting for SCons 2.0: rebuild test
Hello, SCons developers are close to release new major release of SCons, which started to deprecate some obsolete function and dropped support for Python code older than 2.4. Full release notes can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/scons/files/scons/2.0.0.beta.20100531/RELEASE.txt/view SCons unittest is very well designed, and there should not be any major breakages, but risk of backward incompatible changes could affect some Debian packages which does not see updates from upstreams so often. So, I rebuilt reverse dependencies of SCons to spot some problems, and I published my results online. Here is a brief summary: * 58 packages build-depending on SCons * 53 packages built successfully (2 of them needed sourceful changes, such as build-dependency mangling or so, but not related to SCons). * 4 packages FTBFS: * 1 package has temporary dependency screwup This is a dd-list of FTBFSing packages: Tim Abbott sagemath Michael Ablassmeier kstreamripper William J Beksi skim (U) Zhengpeng Hou skim (U) Steffen Joeris abakus skim maintainers skim Jaldhar H.

Intent to remove waf from Debian
Hello, after some time spent to reflect and discuss, I think we reached a point of no return regarding waf package in Debian. I try to summarize what happened in the past months. Devid and I originally decided to include waf as a regular package in Debian because several projects use it as their preferred build system, including a waf "binary" in upstream tarballs. Such "binary" is basically a Python script with an embedded bzip2 tarball unpacked at runtime. Debian package provides waf script, together with wafadmin directory, which is basically the tarball mentioned above, unpacked. Upstream discourages using a system-wide installation of waf [1], and tried in some ways to complicate things for distributors ([2], search "Debian" word), and refused to provide any feedback with related build failures, which were handled with workarounds [3][4]. Things went worse when a user complained with upstream about a build failure while using waf provided by Debian package and an older wscript, waf upstream contacted us asking to remove waf package from Debian under threat to remove system-wide installation, giving us no chance to provide a working waf package anymore. We tried to reach a compromise [5], but it was not enough for upstream, and he renewed his intentions. We do not believe we can solve this situation anytime soon, so we would like to remove waf from Debian for good. I already filed bugs on those packages currently build-depending on waf [6], hopefully they will be fixed before Squeeze, or I will prepare NMUs if release approaches. As a personal note, I discourage using waf as build system of choice: during these months I realized waf introduces backward incompatible changes every releases, this can lead to build failures very frequently. Sticking with older releases is the suggested solution by upstream, but may expose to bugs fixed in newer releases only.

Well, "code" is located on lintian.debian.org/~dktrkranz/empty.sh, it's a very simple shell script which declares a package being empty if all of the following conditions are met: * package does not ship files outside of /usr/share/doc/$pkg * package does not have subdirectories in its /usr/share/doc dir * package does not have a "blacklist" word in its description: - meta - transition - dummy - dependency package - empty package - virtual package After that, I manually sorted resulting packages to remove notable false positives, so it's definitely not reliable enough to provide full automated reports yet, but I can work to define improved conditions. -- .''`. : :' : Luca Falavigna `. `' `- signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[MBF] Handling python2.4 removal
Squeze will release with Python 2.5 and Python 2.6, while Python 2.4 is scheduled for removal when no packages will depend on it. When Python 2.6 will enter unstable, Python 2.4 will be no longer supported version for module and extension building. We're proposing a MBF for the following packages to ease transition, a brief explanation for every class of package involved follows. --- NEED CODE/PACKAGING CHANGES --- These packages build-depend or depend on one of the package built on top of python2.4 source, and will be uninstallable when those packages will be removed from Sid and Squeeze.

waf into NEW, please test it with your packages
Hello, waf has been recently sponsored and it's currently in NEW (until it lasts, you can see its details at [1]). waf preferred design is to provide a self-unpacking Python script to be installed into projects' root directories and then executed from there, we adjusted it to be available system-wide, so everyone can use it, no matter if waf script is available in upstream tarballs or not. As you can see from [2], we decided to remove some files with potential license issues (mainly files under QPL and GFDL), so we are sure to distribute a full DFSG-compliant waf package to our users. several Debian source packages ship an internal copy of such a script, which distributes non-free files and creates code duplication. Here's a dd-list output of interested packages, this has been obtained using Debian source search service [3], so some packages could be missing, please notify me in such a case.

Please report any bug or issue you find, so we can fix them when waf comes out NEW and reaches mirror network. When waf is published, I will file bugs to start the transition. Thank you!
