#17264 — Human uploader needed for three packages

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi!

I've dropped myself as Uploader for the following three packages:

  python-fissix   python-moreorless   python-volatile

I plan to formally orphan them the 15th of December if no one steps
forward.

Best,
Nicholas

Hi Nicholas,
I’ve added myself as the uploader to all three packages in Salsa.

Would you be able to sponsor / upload the new versions?

I will track upstream changes and maintain them going forward. Thank you!

Best,
Mahangu

Hi,

Maybe it's time to drop "fissix" altogether.

It could have been used to bring back the removed "2to3" cli (my last
commit), but that requests never showed up. Someone on #debian-games last
month wanted to try it out last month and "I just compiled a whole old
Python from upstream sources, duh".


The similar reasoning could apply to 'sixer': it is just not useful anymore.


pyupgrade is there to stay !


Greetings

Alexandre

Much obliged!

I may have a window of time to review and sponsor your initial uploads
of the three packages the evening (EST) of Thursday 11 December.  After
that, I think you will probably be more satisfied with the best efforts
of another sponsor (especially in the long-term) :)

Cheers,
Nicholas

Noted, thanks! Will look for another sponsor for future versions.

Have you built these three packages locally yet?  Have you tested
Alexandre Detiste's changes (in fissix, iirc)?  Are the three packages
ready for sponsored upload?

Regards,
Nicholas

Hi,

I did not implemented anything.
I think this most likely came from an old CPython tarball.

Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for the ping and sorry for the delay on this!

Yes, all three build successfully in clean Debian sid without any
Lintian E or W.

> Have you tested Alexandre Detiste's changes (in fissix, iirc)?

Yes. Commit efec763d added debian/2to3.py and debian/2to3.1 but they
weren't being installed. I've added the install commands to
debian/rules to complete this.
The 2to3 command now works:

  $ 2to3 --help
  Usage: 2to3 [options] file|dir ...

  Options:
    -h, --help            show this help message and exit
    -d, --doctests_only   Fix up doctests only
    [...]

$ echo "print 'hello'" > /tmp/test.py

$ 2to3 /tmp/test.py

I also updated the man page header to reference fissix instead of the
old python3-defaults versioning.

> Are the three packages ready for sponsored upload?

I believe so, but I am new to Debian packaging so I could have missed
things. Please let me know if I have? I also fixed changelog
formatting and autopkgtest issues (py3versions -s) in moreorless and
volatile.

Yes noted, Alexandre! I meant you copied it over from
python3-defaults. I should have been clearer. Anyway, I've removed
that line from debian/changelog. Thank you!

Mahangu
