Re: Ongoing Python Transition: related FTBFSes

Would like a sponsor to upload the new version of python-foolscap
Hi! Zooko (the upstream developer) filed #567145 asking for python-foolscap to be updated to the new 0.5.0 release. I have committed a new changelog entry for this, test built and installed a package using svn-buildpackage after running get-orig-source to obtain a correctly modified tarball, and run through some examples in IPython that exercise foolscap and all appeared to work OK. The only other rdepends for foolscap I saw was Tahoo, and I don't feel like messing about with Tahoe right now - Zooko is the dev for Tahoe also and he's asked for a newer foolscap in preparation for the next Tahoe release. I've added foolscap to the /topic in #debian-python, but I didn't know where to say about the testing that I've done on this, so I wrote to this list. Is there anything else that I should do before someone can sponsor this upload?
