Hi,
what is the current status of packaging pystemd? I am interested in the
Debian package of it and can offer to sponsor the package if needed.
Upstream changed the license to LGPL-2.1+ (from BSD+Patents). So the
possible licensing issues has been resolved.
Hello Benjamin,
thanks for asking!
I've already made some packaging work found here:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/modules/pystemd
Current status of package in salsa repo:
- contains latest upstream release v0.6. Said version does indeed change
the license to LGPL-2.1+ , yay.
- successfully builds working binary packages
- successfully passes upstream's unitests during dpkg build
- autopkgtest fails since it cannot find a dbus.service, as seen here:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/modules/pystemd/-/jobs/227636 . I'm
confident we'll be able to make this work as well. Perhaps moving away
from docker in Salsa's CI may help, e.g. switching to autopkgtest-lxc.
- lintian reports no major issues
I would certainly appreciate sponsorship for that package :) I'll take a
look into fixing autopkgtest in Salsa next week.
Regards,
Alex
