#17210 — Intent to update python-playwright to 1.56.0 — is anyone already working on this?

Hi ,
I am new to the Debian community and want to contribute, I have
presentable python skills.

I came across the python-playwright package, it's current version is
1.55.0 but a upstream version 1.56.0 is available. 

I downloaded the tarball and ran the debmake command which created a
debian folder. I saw that if I take up this job I need to do lot of
changes.

My query is that where can I check or ensure that there is no one else
working on the package an that after complete the working according to
the Debian Standards the package will be accepted?

Thank you,
jvk

Hi,

You should start from
"gbp clone git@salsa.debian.org:python-team/packages/python-playwright.git"
and only do the needed incremental changes from this base,
not restart all over again each time with debmake.

Greetings

I tried to clone the repo but it seems i dont have the ssh keys or i
should say haven't generated them . I just made a debian salsa gitlab
account but cannot login it says "Your account is pending approval from
your GitLab administrator and hence blocked. Please contact your GitLab
administrator if you think this is an error."  :|

Usually how much time this actually takes and who are the GitLab
administrator in Debian?

What about using https instead? That will always be possible to use.

gbp clone 
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-playwright.git

But you should definitely start to work on that package within your 
namespace first and do not push your modification to the DPT namespace 
directly!
And as mentioned in another email, get in contact with the current 
maintainers before work in deep! The version in the archive is quite 
fresh and got into the archive recently.

Indeed. And as the person who did the initial upload, let me state quite 
plainly that I'll welcome any help, especially on running the testsuite :-)

For packages already in Debian, you don't need to create the debian/
folder again.

First, you can have some general information about the package in the
tracker: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-playwright

There is a link there to the VCS used to maintain it:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-playwright.
Currently, there is no work visible to package the new upstream release.

You can additionally contact the last people who work on the package,
according to git commits and d/changelog, and coordinate with them.

HTH,
