Boot-Floppies: python task package
Hi, we redesign the boot floppy's package selection system (preselections of packages). The current list will be transfered to ordinary packages, thous making the whole thing easier to manage. Also this allows to select a packageset after the initial installation. See the task-sgml and task-sgml-dev packages in unstable for an example. One task package is a task-python package. I like you to take a look at the control file and comment on it, and it would be even cooler if one of you could take this package (the controlfile can be expanded into a package using equivs). The only thing to be done is to manage the Depends: list in the control file, so it is not much work, but you are in the natural position to maintain the task-python package. Here is the control file, I'd love to hear from you. Especially, a description is needed.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- I don't know (yet) what the other -task packages have done, but I'd suggest we have it Suggests: rather than Depends: on the various documentation pacakges. Also, there's a typo (missing space) in "python-mxtoolspython-pmw," If no one else wants to take this, I'll take it (I'm an avid Python fan, so would pay attention to new python packages as they are released anyway); but I'm not a "sanctioned" developer yet -- I suspect my mentor (Tony Mancill) wouldn't object. If someone else wants it, fine with me.

The problem is, that the boot-floppies will directly use apt-get, and apt-get only reads the Depends: line. Of cause, it is another thing if the user uses dselect later. Unfortunately, there is no better solution, therefore the Depends:. One has to deinstall the task package to remove any of the packages. David> Also, there's a typo (missing space) in "python-mxtoolspython-pmw," I see, thanks.

If Tony doen't have time, I also can do the uploads. The main concern is, that someone who uses python does the semantics for the package, like removing a obscure lib I added, adding a README file mentioning the debian-python list and such. David> If someone else wants it, fine with me. Whoever takes this, just upload to incoming as a usual package. You may want to use equivs (equivs-build ) to transform the controlfile into a package to start with. I also ask the person who finally takes this to contact me, so I can keep track of it. Ciao, Martin
