Bug#387612: RFP: python-debtags -- Access Debtags information from python

2006-09-15 Thread Enrico Zini
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: python-debtags
  Version : 0.1
  Upstream Author : Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debtags/python
* License : LGPL
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Access Debtags information from python

Python module to access Debtags information.

The package also provide some tools and a wxpython-based prototype for a
Debian package smart search interface.

I'm looking for someone to package svn://svn.debian.org/debtags/python
for me: it's simple enough python stuff (one Debian.py and a few
runnable scripts, but they use set() and so they require at least python
2.4), but I don't want to learn the python policy just for it.


Thanks,

Enrico

You don't have to learn the python policy. Your fear is only the result
of stupid people trying to make python packaging look too complex. The
truth is, it is *not* complex.

I don't care how complex the python policy is: I just don't want to
learn it just for this package.  I prefer to spend my time doing
upstream development.

If you instead want to talk about stupid people involved in the recent
python policy changes, you better don't.


Ciao,

I have a basic package at
http://jameswestby.net/scratch/python-debtags_0.1-1.dsc

I am willing to finish the package off if you do not want to take it
from here, but only if you add a license and copyright information.
There are also a few other things that would be good, but I'll leave
that for now. 

Let me know if you want me to continue,

James

You don't have to learn each and every sub-policy to build a package.
Helper tools are here for that purpose.

> I prefer to spend my time doing upstream development.

Doing so is of course your choice, but I don't find it much productive.
You'll get things in Debian faster if you make the package yourself.

Thanks a lot, I've imported your changes in the debtags svn repo and
added the missing license information.

Now I'm wondering how to proceed: there are two options: one is I give
you access to the svn repo on Alioth and you continue with the
packaging.  The other is that we merge Debtags.py into the work of the
pkg-python-debian project.  I've noticed from the list archives that
you're involved there, too.

I've Cc-ed Adeodato to ask if he would like this work to be part of
pkg-python-debian.

Besides sorting out the place where this module belongs, I'd really like
you to continue: that'd be of great help to me.


Ciao,

Enrico

Yes, I am, though I'm not too sure what dato's plans are for the
package. I'll be happy with either solution.

That's fine. I'm happy to continue. Thanks for making the changes.

I think you should merge this package (maybe not the wxwindow GUI, but
still ...) with the efforts of the pkg-python-debian project (ML on
Alioth Cc-ed and ITP bug report Cc-ed).

Part of the effort is developing python libraries to access Debian
"information" about packages and stuff. It seems to me the right place
for python-debtags as well.

Cheers.

Oh, yes!  I'd love to.  I didn't know of pkg-python-debian.

Hi guys, I have a module for you :)
