Hey there, Matthias announced that F would have python3.8 and from the recent upload, it looks like that's being worked on actively at the moment.
While looking at the update_excuses_by_team.html#desktop-packages report I noticed some delta-over-debian being added to packages where I can't really make sense of what's going on in the changelog. Some examples http://launchpadlibrarian.net/447713946/pygobject_3.34.0-1build1_3.34.0-1ubuntu1.diff.gz http://launchpadlibrarian.net/447727952/pycairo_1.16.2-1ubuntu1_1.16.2-1ubuntu3.diff.gz http://launchpadlibrarian.net/447772089/cracklib2_2.9.6-2build1_2.9.6-2ubuntu1.diff.gz Some changes for example add a Build-Depends on dh-exec and hacks in the .install, I guess those doing the changes understand why but it triggers some questions to me - Could someone explain why those .install tricks are needed exactly? Couldn't the issue be solved in the python packaging tools instead? - Can/should those changes be forwarded to Debian? (they are not at the moment?) I would be happy to help with that once I understand the technical approach being taken. - Is that a transition we are under pressure to get through? Should we maybe take the time to document what's going on and have more people helping and do things in a way were we collectively understand what is happening so we know what to do from those deltas in the futur/ help forwarding to Debian for example?
