Hi Python Team, I have prepared packaging of 'grpclib' and I'm new to Python packaging, so I would appreciate open minded review of how this is packaged:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-grpclib Please bring up stylistic concerns, for me to learn. I plan to upload this to NEW shortly. Some of the questions/concerns I have are: - Do the /usr/bin binaries have to go in a separate package, or could they be in the python3-grpclib binary package? I believe they are developer-only tools of limited applicability. - Naming - right now it uses this style: Source: python-grpclib Package: python3-grpclib Package: protoc-grpclib Does that make sense? Upstream calls itself 'grpclib' but using 'python-grpclib' in Debian seems nicer. I see there is a 'rustc-protoc' in the archive, maybe this should be 'python-grpclib-protoc' instead? Or 'protoc-python-grpclib'? Or 'protoc-grpclib-python'? - This uses tarballs from pypi.debian.net, which isn't identical to upstream's GitHub git archive. It seems tests/ are missing. I've approached upstream about including them in the PyPI upload -- https://github.com/vmagamedov/grpclib/issues/200 -- but I'm not sure what the best practices are here. Is using the pypi.debian.net tarball recommended? Or do people package the github.com tarball instead? Or directly from git? What do we do when some stuff is missing from the PyPI archive? - Man pages are missing - the tools doesn't respond to -h or --help, I suppose this is an upstream request, or are there any other ideas on that? - Others? /Simon Simon Josefsson <si...@josefsson.org> writes: > Package: wnpp > Severity: wishlist > Owner: Simon Josefsson <si...@josefsson.org> > X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-python@lists.debian.org > > * Package name : python-grpclib > Version : 2.0.0b7 > Upstream Author : Vladimir Magamedov, et al > * URL : https://github.com/vmagamedov/grpclib > * License : BSD-3-Clause > Programming Lang: Python > Description : Pure-Python gRPC implementation for asyncio > > This is a Pure-Python gRPC implementation for asyncio. > > https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-grpclib > > /Simon >
