Package: sponsorhip-requests Severity: wishlist I am looking for a sponsor for my package python3-metpx-sarracenia. It has been in development since 2013, and it is now getting stable enough that putting it into a stable repository is starting to make sense. currently alpha, should make it to beta soon.
Package name : python3-metpx-sarracenia Version : 2.18.01a5 ? or later? maybe pull latest tag from git? Upstream Author: ssc.hpc-chp....@canada.ca, peter_si...@sourceforge.net ( Peter Silva is manager of a team at Canadian government.) URL: http://metpx.sf.net License: GPLv2 Section: python Sarracenia is used to generate messages (called posts) about files, which are then published to a rabbitmq AMQP broker. Subscribers can then do stuff with them. Usually one downloads them, thus doing a file transfer. Once downloaded, the files can also be published to another broker, daisy chain style. Hence SARRA: Subscribe and Recusively Re-Advertise. Can be used to mirror large trees... and by large, I mean 27 million files in a single tree large... and do so 72 times faster than rsync... (explanation here: http://metpx.sourceforge.net/mirroring_use_case.html ) mi also can be used to download from the Canadian weather service's public datamart ( http://dd.weather.gc.ca ) The debian building basically works, there is a PPA for it: https://launchpad.net/metpx-sarracenia One can obtain the source: git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/metpx/sarracenia metpx-sarracenia cd metpx-sarracenia git checkout v2.18.01a5 debuild will build the python3-metpx-sarracenia_2.18.01a5_all.deb package. That's clean, and that's enough for now... If you are feeling kind/friendly, but there is also some (optional) C stuff in the c/ subdirectory. if you do: cd c debuild it will build: libsarra-c_2.18.01a5_amd64.deb libsarra-c-dev_2.18.01a5_amd64.deb sarra-c_2.18.01a5_amd64.deb The C stuff is needed for the large mirroring case, but most use cases are fine with just the python. I haven't figured out how to get launchpad to do these builds automatically, and they require librabbitmq4-0.8.0 which is too new from ubuntu 16.04, so have not tried to build there, but current debian stable is OK (also 17.10, and 18.04) The c stuff is linux only (depends on INOTIFY kernel feature.) likely won't work on alternate kernels.
