Message-ID<M5H5v-5qkD-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hello,

I want to add python-backports.zstd to Debian.
But I don't have permission to do that.
Please review and upload this ITP package to Debian.

* ITP: python-backports.zstd -- Backport of PEP-784 "adding Zstandard
to the standard library"
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1123505

Current packaging status can be examine from here:
  https://salsa.debian.org/yokota/python-backports.zstd

----

* Package name    : python-backports.zstd
  Version         : 1.2.0
  Upstream Contact: Rogdham <contact@rogdham.net>
* URL             : https://github.com/Rogdham/backports.zstd
* License         : PSF-2.0 (PYTHON SOFTWARE FOUNDATION LICENSE VERSION 2)
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Backport of PEP-784 "adding Zstandard to the standard
library"


Zstandard is a widely adopted, mature, and highly efficient compression
standard.

PEP-784 proposes adding a new module to the Python standard library
containing a Python wrapper around Meta's zstd library, the default
implementation since Python 3.14.

This module is the backport of PEP-784 for Python 3.13 and before.


Debian python-pyzstd/0.19.0 now uses PEP-784 (compression.zstd) for Python
3.14.
And it requires "backports.zstd" module for Python 3.13.

Hi,

I can review your packages. I saw you are planning maintain it under
DPT umbrella. Don't you have permissions to create projects under DPT
salsa space?

hello!

I leave a couple of comments:

- Please mention src/c/pythoncapi-compat/ as 0BSD and copyright holders
- Please mention src/python/backports/zstd/tarfile.py as expat and
copyright
  holders.


Please let me know when you fix them. 

Cheers.
Emmanuel
