Re: review for kivy/2.1.0-1
Hi Dean, Thanks for doing the heavy lifting in getting kivy/2.1.0-1 ready for upload! I'm currently going through all of the packages that I (co-)maintain in preparation for the upcoming freeze, and you've saved me a ton of work here! I've pushed a few very minor changes to the packaging, but otherwise I think this is ready for upload; if Jeroen isn't planning on uploading kivy in the next day or so, I'd be happy to do so myself. I also invite you to add yourself as an Uploader in d/control if you anticipate maintaining kivy in the future. One thing I wanted to bring up before actually uploading kivy is that you've added a new (emacs-specific) binary package, and adding a new binary package will force kivy to take a round-trip through the NEW queue. While that's not usually a problem, since we're so close to the freeze, there's a risk that ftpmasters may not be able to review it in time before the freeze takes effect. Would you consider either merging the contents of elpa-kivy-mode into python3-kivy, or defer adding the new package for a subsequent upload? Thanks! Regards, Vincent

Given that Thomas has already mentioned in the very beginning of this thread that he intends on backporting sphinx to jessie-backports as well (which satisfies the unmet build-dep above), I think it's safe to assume that he will be uploading packages to backports in the necessary order to satisfy build dependencies. FWIW, I see no *technical* reason to reject Thomas' backported packages. It looks to me that he's done everything he needs to do according to the backports rules, and that you're imposing additional requirements that (strictly speaking) he doesn't have to meet (i.e. providing debdiffs for every backports upload).

No, that's not necessary as long as the orig tarball is already
present in the archive in another suite (which would be true for
backports, since the package is supposed to be derived from the
current version in testing).

No, the -v flag is no longer required as of April of this year [1]. It
is merely "recommended" now [2].

Please push your changes to svn first.
Just a quick review: debian/pyversions is unneeded since you already
have X-Python{,3}-Version stanzas in d/control. Also, consider using
pybuild [1]; it'll greatly simplify your d/rules, and you already have
a build-dep on dh-python anyways.

Vincent

Thanks for the explanation! I don't follow upstream development closely, and I was unsure how close to release 1.9.2 actually is. In that case, would you consider 1.9.2 as of the last commit on bitbucket (or any specific commit if you want to suggest one, I suppose) ready for inclusion in a stable release of Debian/Ubuntu?

Just to confirm, does the latest stable pygame release (1.9.1) actually support python3? Because back when I initially prepared python3 pygame 1.9.1 packages for Debian a few years back, I recall that I was able to build it, but just importing pygame with a python3 interpreter resulted in an error. 1.9.2pre works great though.

Yes, I've tested the python3-pygame package (briefly) prior to uploading it to experimental, and it is indeed functional. The reason it's in experimental and not unstable is because I'd rather not upload a snapshot of upstream svn/hg to sid (I have no idea when upstream is planning to release 1.9.2). When 1.9.2 is released, I'll push the current packaging in experimental to sid. There's also an upstream bug report about python3 support in the Debian package [1], although there's really nothing new there.

The kivy package currently in Ubuntu (15.04/vivid) [1] is identical to the package that we have in Debian [2], and has been kept in sync since trusty was released, so it looks like it's not a matter of keeping the Debian and Ubuntu packages in sync (as Bastian seems to be suggesting), but rather, keeping the Debian/Ubuntu packages in sync with upstream-provided PPA packages? I'll make a note to myself to take a closer look at the diff between the official Debian/Ubuntu packages, and the packaging in the above github repo (which I presume is being used for a PPA?), but at first glance there does seem to be major differences that may make syncing this more trouble than it's worth (e.g. package names; getting them in sync means adding a mess of breaks+replaces relationships and regular testing to ensure a smooth upgrade path between Ubuntu<->PPA). Strictly speaking PPAs aren't officially supported to begin with, so the easy way out would be to just say that the Ubuntu packages aren't compatible with upstream-provided PPA packages...

AFAIK there's no team-specific RFS policy. From what I've seen though,
sponsorship within the DPMT/PAPT often takes place via IRC (OFTC,
#debian-python), and relatively few RFS requests come through the
mailing list. I only saw this because I'm trying to work through my
email backlog at the moment...
Anyways, here's a quick review of your package:
- please file an ITP bug report [1] and close it in debian/changelog.
New packages should only have a single, short changelog entry
(typically something like "Initial release (Closes: #xx)").
- debian/clean seems to be redundant with your override target in d/rules
- Vcs-{Svn,Browser} is missing in d/control; please apply for access
to the DPMT's svn repo at Alioth and upload (and maintain) your
package there, then add the missing Vcs-* fields to d/control
- I suggest following DEP-5 [3] for d/copyright, but that's up to you.
However, you should either have the full upstream license text in
d/copyright, or if it's a license available in
/usr/share/common-licenses, explicitly provide a link to the
appropriate license file. You also seem to be missing a
copyright+license statement for the packaging itself (debian/*).
- some issues caught by lintian that you can easily fix:
P: django-bootstrap3 source: no-dep5-copyright
P: python-django-bootstrap: no-upstream-changelog
I: python-django-bootstrap: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
I: python-django-bootstrap: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration
(HISTORY.rst looks like an upstream changelog to me)
- the build log contains a bunch of import errors when the docs are
built (i.e. "ImportError: No module named django") - missing
build-dep?

Vincent

Please follow the instructions at mentors.debian.net [1] to upload your package for review and file a sponsorship request. If you'd like to maintain your package within the team, you'll have to file a request to join the DPMT/PAPT on alioth (and then wait for an admin to approve your request).

For the purposes of this review, I'm going to assume that what you
uploaded is this source package (since you didn't give a direct link):
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kupfer/kupfer_0+v208-3.dsc
- Your new upload has to have a different version number than past
uploads. kupfer/0+v208-3 was already uploaded on 2013-12-19 by Luca
Falavigna; you should instead be using version 0+v208-4 instead.
- Please revert your changes to debian/watch; your watch file doesn't
work (404; use uscan(1) to verify).
- Please revert your changes to Vcs-{Svn,Browser} in debian/control:
the original Vcs-* links are correct and are the canonical Vcs links
that you should be using in d/control. [1]
- Please revert the rest of your changes to debian/control (having a
single build-dep/dependency on each line makes it much easier to see
what changed with a diff in between uploads; wrap-and-sort(1) from the
"devscripts" package helps to format debian/control like what it is
currently. Don't "un-"wrap-and-sort the package...
- Please set DPMT as maintainer, and you as uploader (instead of the
other way around).
The only remaining change now is your removal of a number of patches
applied to the package (almost every other change you made is bogus
and should be reverted, sorry). A few comments about this:
- Please document this in debian/changelog
- Why did you remove these patches? Include a brief rationale in d/changelog.
Regards,
Vincent

Is there a procedure for this? Contact the MIA team [1], ask for the package to be orphaned, and proceed to adopt the package and maintain it within the DPMT (usually by setting DPMT as maintainer, and you as uploader).

You'll have to be approved for membership into the DPMT/PAPT before
you'll get commit access to our svn packaging repos. If you've gotten
no further response, I suggest pinging the team admins on IRC (I think
Piotr is one of the admins?).

In case nobody on this list is interested in your package, perhaps
you'd like to consider asking for sponsorship on other Debian
channels, e.g. debian-ment...@lists.debian.org, the
sponsorship-requests pseudo-package/bug tracker, or #debian-mentors on
OFTC?

Sure, assuming it's team-maintained and nobody else is already working
on it. Bug fixing/triaging is also another great way to start
contributing. :)

I've briefly reviewed your packaging and can't find any issues with it
(it's pretty much the textbook example of pybuild/dh-python usage
though), although if you intend on maintaining it within the DPMT
(Debian Python Modules Team), please add Vcs-{Browser,Svn} links in
debian/control. You'll have to join the DPMT/PAPT on Alioth first [1]
first, however.

My one concern at this point is that I'm not sure how your library
differs from the various other packages that are already in the Debian
archive (e.g. "aptitude search parse"); I wouldn't be surprised if
there's some degree of overlap. I mean no offense by this, but I'm
somewhat reluctant to sponsor small "vanity" packages into Debian
because more often than not, they end up just bitrotting in the
archive once the author loses interest in it (or Debian, for that
matter), especially if nobody else actually uses the package / there's
no real user demand for it.
However, we do have plenty of packages and teams in Debian that could
use an extra set of helping hands, and you are definitely more than
welcome to join the team and assist with team-maintained packages. I'm
certain that there are lots of packages in the DPMT/PAPT that could
use some extra love, especially those with RC bugs and/or inactive
uploaders; you can see [2][3] for a full list of packages we maintain,
some of which may interest you.

Thanks for the explanation! You're right, it'd be nice to see autopkgtest integrated with pbuilder and/or sbuild; it would certainly give autopkgtest more visibility in Debian. It seems to me that only Ubuntu is taking advantage of it, but autopkgtest adoption could be sped up a lot more (in both Debian and Ubuntu) if DDs in general were aware of it and started adding them to their own packages en masse. With regards to pyspread...given the discussion above, I don't think ttf-mscorefonts-installer even belongs in suggests? End users are usually the only ones that care about suggested packages, and they're not the ones who are going to be creating or running autopkgtests anyways.

My bad!) There's a binNMU request for this already filed (#739467), so this'll get fixed when that's done.

Maybe this can be left until later? (My understanding of) the consensus is that modules should provide both python2 and python3 packages when possible, and individual applications can depend on either python2 or python3. I'm not entirely sure if there's consensus on what happens in the case where a package provides both a python module and is an application at the same time (I'll leave it to others on the list to chime in), but in any case, that's not a blocker and is something you can work on for future uploads anyways. Built, signed, and uploaded. Oh, and don't forget to verify and close #714891 otherwise veusz won't migrate to testing.

It appears to build properly in pbuilder for sid. I've briefly looked at your package (i.e. I haven't tried building it yet; my local network is acting up and it's taking forever to download the required build-deps at the moment...), but anyways, some comments about your package: - latest standards version is 3.9.5 - please collapse all unreleased d/changelog entries into a single entry (dch -i should've done that for you); it should look something like this: veusz (1.20.1-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Jakub Wilk ] * Use canonical URIs for Vcs-* fields.

Fixed.

Errr...I remember that at one point lintian complained about embedded
js libraries (jquery IIRC), but they don't seem to be present anymore
with the latest hg snapshot. I'll have to take a closer look at
this...

Some of the tests require X and a display adapter, hence me being lazy
and deciding to just skip tests altogether. I didn't know about xvfb
until just now however, so I'll definitely take another look at it.

Fixed.

Definitely, that's on my TODO list for pygame...which has now just

Is there any easy workaround for this? Admittedly I was being a bit
lazy here as well, but pygame's source doesn't contain that many
images and I didn't think it was worth adding more complexity to the
packaging in order to appease lintian.

As for everything else, I'll fix each issue one by one when I have
some spare time. In the meantime, I've moved the packaging over from
collab-maint to the team's repository; any help would definitely be
appreciated.
Thanks for the very thorough review! :)

Well, I'm currently a DM (DDPO profile here [1]), and I'd like to join the DPMT and PAPT to move some of my self-maintained packages (pygame is one of them) into team maintainership. Most of my other packages are also team-maintained (I'd estimate half of my packages to be in the Debian Games team, in fact). I also lurk on IRC as vincent_c, so feel free to poke me there if you'd like to chat with me. Thanks!

Re: Hand pygame maintainership over to Debian Python Modules Team?
Glad to see that you're still alive and not MIA, Ed. :) Since both you and Andreas agree, I'll switch the maintainer field over to the Debian Python Modules Team (and keep you and Andrea's names in Uploaders, of course) and move pygame over from collab-maint soon-ish (well, as soon as I'm accepted into the team).
