debconf

[Terry Hancock]

Hi All,
I've been lurking for a long time, but just thought of a 
question:

Is there a python binding for debconf? The debconf-doc
package mentions bash and perl bindings and communicating
by pipes, but not python.  It would seem the natural choice
for config scripts for python packages at least.

I've just started learning Debian packaging, and since I
mostly work in Python, I'll likely be creating some python
packages of software I already maintain or authored, at 
some point.

Cheers,
Terry

Yes, it is in the debconf package. Just try "import debconf".

You are not allowed to write .config scripts using python, as it is not
a required package. It is fine for postinst, though.

garchiver maintainer Danie Roux MIA

Hi,

I was just switching last packages to use arj instead of non-free unarj
when found a FTBFS on garchiver and that the maintainer (non-DD) who is
upstream as well seems MIA. He only maintains this package, and have
received 6 consecutive NMUs, without acks:



Upstream site is dead since 2001-09-27. No new release since 2001-06-27.



Is anyone maybe from debian-python interested in the package, otherwise
I'll orphan it if no one objects, I've CCed Danie.

Also can someone take a look at the RC ,
seems a problem with python-gtk-1.2 migration. I'll like to get it
resolved but I don't write python.

thanks,
guillem
