Hello, I'm the current maintainer for python-unit, and I'm wondering on the need to have this package as a separate one.
The main reason for the existence of this package is for python1.5 users, since pyunit is part of the main python distribution since 2.0. The problem I have is that upstream has not made any new release since 1.4.1 in august 2001, whereas the code for pyunit in the different python releases has evolved. As a consequence, python2.2-unit-1.4.1 is outdated with regards to what would be available from the python2.2 source package. The questions are: * should the python-unit package be generated from the python source package? * if so, do we drop support for pyunit in python1.5, or add pyunit as a patch? * if not, should I generate python-unit packages based on the CVS? * or should I ask upstream to make a release? Thanks for your feedback.
