Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "pylucene" * Package name : pylucene Version : 3.5.0-1 Upstream Author : Apache Lucene developers * URL : http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/ * License : Apache-2 Section : python It builds those binary packages: python-lucene - Python extension for accessing Java Lucene python-lucene-dbg - debugging symbols for python-lucene To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/pylucene Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pylucene/pylucene_3.5.0-1.dsc More information about pylucene is available at http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/ Current version of pylucene in debian is sid is not installable at all (it still depends on python 2.5). I've asked current maintainer and Jeff agreed that I can take care of it: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/04/msg00464.html As about my motivation, I need this package as optional dependency for ReviewBoard package. There are a few issues that I'm unsure how to currently solve: - upstream tarball contains full source of original Java-based lucene, compiles it. Upstream makefile compiles it. Currently debian has no lucene3 at all (there is another ITP for this: #594027), but once it'll be ready, it should be possible to just build-depends on it - package still uses rpath since it needs to be linked to jvm libraries that are actually private. Nothing change here since latest upload. I know that it's bad but another solution is to provide ld.so.conf.d entry that will contains something like /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server. But for me this looks even uglier. - since it links to jvm libraries, it can't be used with java implementations other than default-jre Changes since the last upload: * New maintainer (closes: 670179) * New upstream release * Switch to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format * Switch to machine-readable debian/copyright * Bump debian/compat to 8, drop debian/pycompat * Switch from cdbs to dh * Add watch file * Build for all supported versions of python2 (closes: 581198, 632240) * Rename binary package to python-lucene (closes: 581197) * Add -dbg package -- WBR, Dmitry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
