-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 * Package name : python-progress Version : 1.2 Upstream Author : Giorgos Verigakis * URL : https://github.com/verigak/progress/ * License : ISC Programming Lang: Python Description : easy progress reporting for Python License note: ISC is this OSI approved license: http://opensource.org/licenses/ISC progress is a library for displaying progress meters for command line Python applications. It is a relatively new dependency for pip, and getting progress into Debian is a blocker for updating to the latest version of pip. We do have progressbar already in Debian, but I think it's still worth getting progress in too for several reasons. One obviously is the pip dependency. Upstream pip is amenable to contributed patches for progressbar as an alternative, but this is a fair bit of work that to be honest I don't want to block on in order to get pip updated (we're woefully behind upstream here). The other reason is that it's not entirely clear which package is better supported upstream. progressbar itself appears to be stalled/abandoned upstream. While it's last PyPI entry is dated 2015-02-20, it's last upstream github commit is dated 2012-12-25. PyPI has a completely rewritten and not 100% compatible progressbar2, but getting that into Debian would require an ITP anyway. The last upload to PyPI for progress is dated 2013-11-28, but its last upstream github commit is dated today (2016-01-27) so it's clearly still active upstream, although it appears to be newly so. On balance I think it is thus worth getting progress into Debian as python-progress, for the pip dependency. I plan to maintain this package as part of the Debian Python Modules Team. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWqRujAAoJEBJutWOnSwa/NFYP/1bEq5I99xS4WKrsjcdFcfZX rKsZ7c1pYjg2CuKi05UKq0552Di6RopDaiXrEcZRXBCeB152yILEb7e8uu8B2zIy cW0S+nNaZ62/XSmL1/CtuDcgU117GqeFTpZaVqb0KidL/gEGrTkorstJPt2gQHrk MCtcY0Q7PEuEktKGP+3AOeZd5zEsA0AVF89QW+krsbq9XtbejJ+ElZYXuJl6qhfo znW1Sp0+nacO/AGU1wOCmBKP4YvPkjFyQT/6JF+A8jjEjbdyC680M44fLEjAtXgp 1Tcsk6kwUrEnFbCajShlZ4A0vGIc/OOKYz1Z5D8Pej7RzUXPpLYkYR0Q0dpADEpj iLBVUf8RSDB3hTgmtAr/8EjFxlqEi5VSs4UQ1WFXdOGIgaZX973V4vQou/e88Nmx xiG5Ohw9ZEEa3uKJLbOl9KESP9ghhvCLdD4n8Ji+mibwOLfc2OlUMP85MbwBeGrq 9E9ctew+xCe2b9VtslnuMH3B9lEwZLNd+s3zN7R2RNtskVd5qI48mxE6Vk9L8lUn 3XPEhD9N2IaIcf6dVznBneqSC0rqsjuWS5I/sZCtEOrZmTzWh9+D26qEmeC3jjil izv4ZfQca2+wNwrRmwbzQnTcphTjHOb0TAkMjGCCTEiNwfOsRZG+mUP2RuejWdR6 cP3Kz8Bxb2PgHcCUSCCq =Qrhp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
