RFS: python-urwid - Console UI Library for Python
Hello, I am looking for a sponsor for the python-urwid debian packages I have created. Urwid is a console user interface library for Python. It has a number of features that that are not available in similar libraries. See the Urwid web site for full details: http://excess.org/urwid/ Urwid is written in pure python and is arch-independent. I have packaged versions for python2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, and I've made them available in an apt repository on excess.org. A number of people have already packaged Urwid for other distributions and operating systems. It would be great to see it in unstable too. Let me know if you can help.

I've created much simpler packaging, committed it to python-modules SVN and found a sponsor who has uploaded it. It is now waiting in the NEW queue: http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html You are welcome to take over maintainership of it, or co-maintain it with me, perhaps buxy can add you to the python-modules SVN. > I have packaged versions for python2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, and I've > made them available in an apt repository on excess.org. I think a better option would be to use python-support to make a single deb that supports all python versions. I intend to do that once urwid enters debian.

Given than Ian is the upstream author of the module, he is of course welcome in the team if he so wishes.

More info here: I suggest on the contrary to do that before it enters Debian so that the ftpmaster do not create packages that will disappear shortly after and so that you don't have an upgrade path to handle. I did that for kid. And I mailed ftpmasters to tell them that they could reject the previous upload if that helped them (but my second upload was a new upstream version).

To clarify, the version I uploaded only has one package (python-urwid), supporting the default version of python (2.3). -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Do I even have to? Packages won't conflict so the user may have both installed. We can consider adding conflicts to avoid this problem. > I would like to continue to support people that aren't running debian > unstable with packages for python2.1 (and python2.4 for ubuntu) The package with python-support would work with any python version. Ubuntu probably has python-support (in universe) so it shouldn't be a problem either. I'll let you check those details with Paul.
