Re: review for pipenv/2022.10.12-1

2022-10-28 Thread Bastian Venthur

Thanks for taking over!

I totally lost interest in maintaining that package and kind of 
neglected it because of the vendoring and the package itself or rather 
its upstream. Anyways, I thought I've orphaned it long time ago (maybe I 
forgot to do that). So thank you for taking over, I'm sure a lot of 
users will be happy!



Cheers,

Bastian

Hi Emmanuel,

I find it amazing that you went through all the hassle of un-bundeling 
and actually packaging all the dependencies for poetry!



Good job and thank you very much for your efforts!

Re: upstream python concerns, python3-full package for bullseye

I understand that upstream python guys probably think the way to consume
python stuff is through venv, pip, and setuptools. I have a very
different view on this, and probably I'm not alone.

We (Debian people) indeed prefer if our user can enjoy a packaged
versions of things if they are available (and that's not specific to
Python). In such a packaged environment, venv and distutils are useless,
as the distribution is taking care of all what these tools would do
without apt or dpkg. I do prefer my system to *not* have venv support,
for example.



Being a Debian Developer myself, I have to disagree here. I *wish* I 
could just install everything via the Debian Packaging System, but the 
reality for most relevant Python packages is very different: packages 
are either outdated or do not exist in Debian -- heck, even PIP is 
outdated in a way that you actually have to `pip install -U pip` in 
order to use it properly due to the recent manylinux change.


So at work, were we use Python, we basically use only Debian's minimal 
image and install a naked Python + pip. Then we upgrade pip to make it 
usable and then install every python package via pip.



Cheers,

Bastian

I see some updates on the salsa repository, any chance we can get this

Note that there are many packages that are not in Debian like cachy,

I RFS python-cachy [1] and now I'm working on cleo, which depends on
clikit
that is not on Debian (if I search correctly).

Bastian Venthur note me that pienv, pip have vendors folder with the
dependencies
but looking on poetry that _vendor folder is empty.

So, looking for I more experienced opinion, do you think that we would
try
convince
to upstream to make available vendors on the release (if that is
necessary)
or
we need to package all the missing dependencies?


Definitely they should be packaged.

At least for pip none of the vendored libs are used in Debian's package.  
Fortunately upstream supports use of system libs with only minor patching.

[RFC] Dropping Python2 support for my package

2019-01-12 Thread Bastian Venthur
Hi,

I'm about to drop Python2 support for python-debianbts. Currenty the
source package produces two packages: python-debianbts and
python3-debianbts. The question is: if I drop Python2 support, what
happens with the package names? Should I simply provide the
python3-debianbts and drop python-debianbts, or shall I attempt some
kind of migration to make the python-debianbts the new default package
name for Python3?

Thanks for your hints!

Maybe polished isn't the correct term. What I meant was: reviewed by all

what has been discussed during the BoF).

I wouldn't go so far and see documentation as software. Apart from that
I agree that it is important to clarify what one can do with this
documentation (quote, modify, redistribute, etc.) and under which rules
this has to happen. For example, when I quote a paragraph of the
documentation in an email, do I have to provide a copy of the GPL along
with the quote? Because technically I redistribute parts of that work.

Bastian

Quoting the second paragraph from the copyright notice:

"This manual is free software; you can redistribute it..."

so this *manual* is free *software*. Really?!

For me this wording shows clearly that this license does not fit to
documentation since it was obviously made for software.

But since the release team decided that rng is 'unfit for release' and
