bug reports preventing the python transition
This list may be incomplete, but at least all these bugs keep the python packages out of testing. It seems that all these bugs can be easily fixed ... Do you know of other python dependent packages with RC reports?

RC wxwindows reports preventing python 2.1 -> 2.2 transition
Hi, For wxwindows2.2 and 2.4 I see two RC reports. Any chance to fix these soon? What about removing wxwindows2.3 from unstable. AFAICR this was a "development" release anyway. Same for 2.2, no other packages seem to depend on this version anymore. Thanks, Matthias

I uploaded a fix which was rejected and which seems to have been lost (it's not in queue/reject and it's not on my system). I'll see if I can do another upload this weekend.

The biggest issue with them IMO is the png mess, and the right fix to avoid thrashing on all sides is probably to transition them to gtk2 sooner now rather than later. I'll bump it all further up my stack again though, thanks. > What about removing wxwindows2.3 from unstable. AFAICR this was a > "development" release anyway.

When I looked yesterday poedit still showed up in the 2.3 deps, but I don't see that now. (apt-cache showpkg reports some terribly weird things for me from time to time...) If they really have no further deps I'd be glad to see 2.2 and 2.3 gone. I'll file a request at ftp-admin if no-one listening pings me that they've already removed them :-) cheers, Ron

I've sent a mail to both the maintainer and the developer list: let's wait one or two weeks. BTW 67644 seen to aply no more: file syntax is correct, and compiling those files with python 2.1 work. Many (not all!) of the lines of the files mentioned in the report end with ^M, so i suppose that this bug raise only with the old (1.5?) python interpreter. To fix 122653 we simply need someone to build and upload it again: the real problem is the incompatibility with zope 2.6.1. They state[1] the have release a 1.1.0-alpha4 which is wrks with 2.6.1: that's a point to wait for their reply. I suggest to wait for the other bugs to be closed, then we see if something happened for worldpilot: if it will still prevent python transition we may ask for its removal.

That'll be 2 mails July-December 2001, in 1 mail in 2002 and one (yours) in 2003. The ones after (the first week of) July 2001 are all about WP not running with zope>=2.2 and are unanswered. So I'll increase to dead since July, 8th 2001. (And the message from July 7th is the answer "are you dreaming" to a request for a translation.) It has to be added to these statistics that development wasn't exactly responsive. (I.e. I remember that there was a long period of time before worldpilot.org was set up when there was no support. The time when it flourished was rather short.) > To fix 122653 we simply need someone to build and upload it again: the real > problem is the incompatibility with zope 2.6.1.

I didn't find your reference, but worldpilot.org talks about 2.1.6 not 2.6.1. > I suggest to wait for the other bugs to be closed, then we see if something > happened for worldpilot: if it will still prevent python transition we may ask > for its removal. I'd happily adopt it if there was any hope. My point is that there isn't. WorldPilot is an unfinished, unmaintained product that once had potential. I don't think it provides any value to Debian, on the contrary, it contributes to the erosion of the average quality of software packaged by debian. The day it's gone, debian will be a bit better. (I did use worldpilot, did some fixes, but didn't even know where to send them before I abandoned wp.) For some reason zope webmail products don't seem to last very long. If there's need for a replacement, I could ITP the nuxeo groupware suite. They seem to have incorporated the (french) WebMail product. The license needs some investigating (5*GPL, 2*something in LICENSE.txt) , but that is IMO the only zope webmail amongst those I now that has any chance.

gnue-designer is now binary-all
gnue-designer is now binary all. This bug is from before I took over the package and I completely redid the packaging when I took it over. Closing this bug. -- I have a habit of wearing my mind on my sleeve. I have a history of losing my shirt. - Barenaked Ladies.

I'll upload this on Monday (I do this package at work). I had been waiting for the new version of designer to get released, hadn't realised it was holding on python.
