update: I vote for status quo (svn, svn-buildpackage, mergeWithUpstream)
for now - at least until all top contributors will have decent internet
connection or we'll work out some kind of remote upstream branches
schema so that one could choose what to download (and a script to
download all repositories (packages) within the team)

Agree. We talked with Sandro on IRC, the problem is in a bad internet
connection --- it takes ~40min to download 10MB -- then of course
every MB matters. For me it takes just couple seconds, so it doesn't
really matter if I am downloading tarball+debian dir separately, or
together in a git repo.

I just assumed that everyone has a decent internet connection these
days, and I was wrong. :)

Last reply on this thread, just to recap what Ondrej and me discussed
on irc this evening.

I didn't realize I ain't made clear what's my network situation: I'm
still at 56k, so many of the think you broadband users consider
normal, trivial, or chip, for me they're not. I have to minimize the
stuff I download at home and maximize the effort, and svn
(+downloading the tarball at work, if they are big) allows me to
achieve this balance.

But even if I had an adsl or so, I would say that that git is not the
right choice for our team (but I would have made a lot less problems
migrating to it). I think that, being things are they are now, svn is
the right choice and keep being. What we really need is to migrate a
svn layout-2 repository (one composed by
{trunk,tags,branches,...}/package).

Anyhow, to be short: I count as 1, and we are in democracy; whatever
the team will come up, I'll stick to it eventually changing/reducing
the way I contribute to it.

Cheers and Happy Holidays,

but then if you need the original sources to build a package - it doesn't
matter much if you get the tarball or clone a git repository.

unfortunately not...

Bug#509697: Python 2.5, ctypes, and binutils

2008-12-26 Thread Adeodato Simó
Regarding #509697 (python 2.5 providing ctypes, and ctypes using
objdump), I don't think it's reasonable to make python2.5 depend on
binutils, just for the purpose of one of the modules in the standard
library. One option would be to add binutils to Recommends or Suggest,
but that does not ensure packages that Depend: python-ctypes will work.

Maybe "python" should stop Providing: python-ctypes, and python-ctypes
should depend on "python (>= 2.5) | python2.4" instead of just
"python2.4" (plus the recently added a dependency on binutils). This way
binutils will get pulled only when a package that depends on
python-ctypes is installed. (This does not solve, however, packages that
are being smart and are depending on "python (>= 2.5) | python-ctypes".
But maybe those packages should stop doing that.)

If this is the way to go, then for squeeze it means that, if the ctypes
source package is to disappear, it should be created as a dummy package
(from python-defaults instead?), if only to contain the binutils
depends/recommends.

Comments welcome.

Please ping me (in private) when libtokyocabinet will be available for

Built on amd64 and it builds fine, even package contents it's ok; my
only concern is about depending on python-all-dbg for -dbg package.
