Request to join PMPT and add python-lzma
Hello, I'd like to join the DPMT. My alioth username is mrbeige-guest. This is in response to #556451, an ITP I just filed for python-lzma (https://launchpad.net/pyliblzma). Thanks to the help of Kumar Appaiah, Clint Adams, and others in #debian-nyc, I have a package ready here: http://rkd.zgib.net/debian/ They've gone over it fairly thoroughly, but please let me know any other comments on the package. I'd like to add this to group maintenance, with maintainer set to DPMT (but I will still take responsibility for keeping it up to date). I know, at the least, that the copyright file needs the special form added.

Request for review/sponsorship of python-lzma
Hello, I worked with kmap last night to get my package of python-lzma (in DPMT svn) in shape. We think it's good, and he suggested I email here for further review and possibly sponsorship (to experimental since it depends on 2.6). If there's anything else I can/should do, please let me know.

Thanks for the review. I've fixed these things in the svn. Some of
them were caused by me not understanding the debhelper system just
yet.

Is license headers the DEP5 things? I have them at the bottom of
debian/copyright, but I didn't see anything that said if or how they
have to be separated...

I removed the overrides. However, I left in the dh_auto_test
override, since the python_distutils debhelper system doesn't seem to
support it.

Hm. When it build for me, it expanded to "python (>= 2.6) |
python2.6" which does work because of the or operation. Is this
expected?
Thanks for the reviews,

I thought I had this, since it says the first license stanza defaults to "Files: *". I made it explicit now. Also, the source files with a copyright notice also include the authors of liblzma and the LZMA SDK, even though (as far as I can tell) it doesn't use any source from these things, so I left them out of the debian/copyright file. > > I have them at the bottom of debian/copyright, but I didn't see > > anything that said if or how they have to be separated... > > Have a closer read of DEP 5; it describes a header (describing the > package as a whole), and then a body with multiple stanzas.

I removed the extra non-DEP5 stuff at the top, and tried to tighten it up to strictly match what it says. There were some quirks, such as the required "Format-Specification" field not being present in any examples... I think that I've interpreted it strictly enough now that it should be correct. Here is the latest: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/python-modules/packages/python-lzma/trunk/debian/copyright Anything else I can do to the package?

Requesting review of python-ctypeslib
Hello, I would like to request a review of my new packages python-ctypeslib: http://hcoop.net/~rkd/debian/python-ctypeslib_0.0.0+svn20100125-1.dsc or via PMPT: svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/python-modules/packages/python-ctypeslib/trunk There are two executables which need manual pages still, otherwise it is lintian clean. Note: ctypeslib is not ctypes. Ctypeslib is an add on for ctypes which automatically generates ctypes interfaces from C header files.

Python talks at DebConf
Hello, I was looking through the talks submitted to DebConf, and noticed there weren't very many Python related talks. Given the amount there is to discuss related to Python in Debian, it would be great to see some more submissions. Perhaps the list can suggest some talks and we can nominate some people to lead them? At least we should have a talk on Python packaging and one on packaging helpers. Perhaps there could be talks on the DPMT or PAPT. Any more ideas? Also, the DebConf talks team (which I'm not especially a part of) recently made a call for "tracks" of related talks. The idea behind a track is to have a track coordinator, who works with the DebConf talks and scheduling teams to produce a coordinated series of talks. It would be great if there was a Python track. For the informational mail on this, please see http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20100430.191031.1c01ddf4.en.html (Unfortunately, I'm too busy with the conference itself to help with these talks, but can answer any questions on submission and selection and so on.) - Richard -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - boltzmann: up 286 days, 16:37 |http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
