I'm looking for a sponsor for python-enchant (ITP #299783).
Package is lintian/linda clean and builds in pbuilder.

Description : spellchecking library for Python
PyEnchant consists of Python binding to Enchant spellchecking
library and some wrapper classes. It includes all the functionality
of Enchant in Pythonic object-oriented interface, and also provides
some higher-level functionality than is available in the C API.
I have also updated my gaupol package, so now it recommends
python2.4-enchant
Both packages can be downloaded from: http://debian.pox.one.pl/
BTW: I have permission to take over from Seo Sanghyeon
Hi Piotr,
I just had a look at your packaging as present in the Python module svn. I
noticed several things:
- - the repo contains only the debian/ dir, but the mergeWithUpstream property
is
missing. You can set it with
$ svn propset mergeWithUpstream 1 debian
- - you should use debhelper (= 5) and set debian/compat to 5
- - have you considered switching to cdbs? For a python module, the debian/rules
file boils down to:
== begin
#!/usr/bin/make -f
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk
clean::
# hack (CDBS bug -- see #300149)
-rm -rf build
== end
and I'm not sure if the clean:: hack is still needed.
- - it's a matter of taste, but I think that compressing the example is not
needed. With dh_make, you can just add the flag -X.py to dh_compress to excluded
python files from compression.
- - there are some grammar mistakes in the package descriptions:
PyEnchant consists of Python binding*s* to *the* Enchant spellchecking
library and some wrapper classes. It includes all the functionality
of Enchant in *a* Pythonic, object-oriented interface and also provides
some higher-level functionality *which is not* available in the C API.
Apart from that, it looks good to me.
Maybe you could also add a short statement about the license of the Debian
packaging, along the lines of [1].
best,
Torsten
