Hi Chaitanya, and welcome!

There are lots of ways you can contribute to open source.
For example:
*You mention some personal projects - if they could be useful to someone
else, then publish the code somewhere like gitorious or github.

*Is there a python application that you like or use often? Find the
developers and try to code new features or fix bugs.

*Is there a program that you like that is not yet in Debian? Make a
package, and then see if anyone is willing to upload it at
debian-mentors. If you're not sure what to package, here are some
programs which people have requested:
http://wnpp.debian.net/?type[]=RFP&project=python

There are lots of other things that you can do, but given that you're
specifically talking about Python, I think that you'd like these tasks best.

Regards,

Riley Baird

streql - Constant-time string comparison

2014-11-07 Thread Riley Baird
Dear debian-python,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "streql".

In Python, the code for testing the equality of strings is susceptible
to a "timing side channel attack". The package 'streql' provides a
function for comparing strings of equal length in equal time, regardless
of the content of the strings.

This package has already been discussed in depth on debian-security:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2014/10/threads.html#00060

* Package name: streql
  Version : 3.0.2-1
  Upstream Author : Peter Scott 
* URL : https://github.com/PeterScott/streql
* License : Apache 2.0
  Section : python

It builds those binary packages:

python-streql - Constant-time string comparison (Python 2)
python3-streql - Constant-time string comparison (Python 3)
pypy-streql - Constant-time string comparison (PyPy)

To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:

http://mentors.debian.net/package/streql

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/streql/streql_3.0.2-1.dsc

Changes since last upload:

* Initial release (Closes: #764443)

Riley Baird

Request to join Python Modules Packaging Team

2015-02-19 Thread Riley Baird
Hi -python!

I would like to adopt the "slides" package as part of the Python Modules 
Packaging Team. Much of the work has already been done, and the only things 
left would be to change the maintainer fields and move the repository over to 
Alioth. You can see the work I've already done here:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/slides

Yours thankfully,

Riley Baird

Thanks for adding me!

I don't have any special attachment to git, so I've created the repository here:
svn://anonscm.debian.org/python-modules/packages/slides/trunk/
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/python-modules/packages/slides/trunk/

This is fixed in r31913. (The reason I used "extra" was that I didn't know if I 
could change the priority of an already existing package, and slides is 
priority extra at the moment.)

I don't know if I can. Some of the documentation has to be compiled, and 
putting "examples/*" into slides-doc.examples seems to only copy the files 
over. Or is there some way to get around this?

The new package is on mentors:

Great package! Here are some comments that I have:

d/changelog:
-New packages should close an ITP bug. File one, and then put
"(Closes: #)" where # is the number of your bug.

d/control:
-You could add Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields.
-Lintian gives the experimental warnings:
I: python-wget: captitalization-error-in-description python Python
I: python3-wget: captitalization-error-in-description python Python
However, this is a false positive within lintian. You should make a
d/lintian-overrides file to note this.

d/copyright:
-Even if a file is in the public domain, and so has no copyright, you
still need to put the author's name/year in the copyright field.

Other than that, I can't really see any problems. I'm not a DD, so I
can't sponsor your package, but good luck getting it into Debian!

Cheers,

Riley Baird
