Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package python-cliapp 1.20160724-1 fails to build from source because after it was originally uploaded, pylint was upgraded, and now has new checks, which fail the build. In 1.20160724-2 I have disabled build-time tests. I decided to disable the tests rather than fixing the thing that pylint now complains about, because I think it's a smaller, safer change than making code changes at this stage of the release cycle.
