Dear members of the python modules team, I would like to see the package below in Debian, and thus would require a sponsor. The package is available on mentors.debian.net [1] and the packaging sources are, for now, available on github [2].
I also have a guestion: Upstream ships its changelog as a reStructuredText file which is also included in the documentation. Should I put a copy of it in the binary packages anyway ? (It would mean that up to 4 copies of it can get installed on a system !) Or could I just mention that it is available in the -doc package, via a README.Debian ? Or something else... Thanks in advance.

There are a few other python packages that do similar stuff, but none yet in Debian. Compared to other packages that I could find: - It is very easy to integrate in your tests, and plays well with the standard unittest framework; - It is actively maintained; - It is compatible with python from 2.6 to 3.4 (covers all python versions found in Debian); I have packaged it because I use it myself and having it packaged eases its deployment on the development and CI systems I maintain. I now hope that it will be useful to someone else... Packages are available for review on debian mentors and here: http://www.caniart.net/debian/NEW/ Relevant ITP bug report can be found here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=781832 Regards, Nicolas. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
