Can I upload a Python application to DPMT?

2016-03-09 Thread Nikolaus Rath
Hello,

Would anyone have a problem with me moving the s3ql package from the
DPAT to the DPMT repository? I want to switch from svn to git (-dpm).

If that's not a good idea, I'll create some new git repo somewhere, but
I figured that DPMT might be better.

Best,
-Nikolaus

Is pristine-tar failing just for me?

2016-03-09 Thread Nikolaus Rath
Hello,

Whenever I use pristine-tar, I'm getting the following warning:

| warning: pristine-gz cannot reproduce build of [whatever].orig.tar.gz; 
storing 85% size diff in delta
| (Please consider filing a bug report so the delta size can be improved.)

I've reported this as a bug, but since pristine-tar is unmaintained I
don't except any quick fix.

However, I am wondering: am I the only one who sees this, or do other
people here have the same issue?

The most recent example is the python-llfuse tarball. It is generated by
uscan after filtering out non-DFSG files.

Best,
-Nikolaus

yes. Please don't do that. If you don't want to maintain it in PAPT,
move it to collab-maint or anywhere else but not DPMT. DPMT is for
libraries, not for applications, sorry.

I think saw it the other day on python-virtualenv, which also filters out
non-DFSG files.  I don't remember seeing it on python-colorama or python-pip
(which doesn't mean it didn't happen ;).  It was just a warning and didn't
seem to affect anything so I ignored it.  Maybe I shouldn't have.

Cheers,

I saw this a few months ago and filed https://bugs.debian.org/805488 after 
a bit of debugging -- it seems like it's specifically the result of uscan 
/ mk-origtargz calling gzip --rsyncable, and pristine-tar not knowing how 
to handle that. Probably it's the same thing; you can try by manually 
un-gzipping and redoing with regular gzip.
