#12955 — Jupyter project packaging effort

Hi,

my first goal was to update nbconvert -- but it needs a more recent
nbsphinx.

So I have a look at nbsphinx. Ah, it requires a more recent ipywidgets.

Now ipywidgets gets interesting : that package suffers from a lack of
love, for reasons made obvious below.

The purely Python part is ok, but there's a widgetsnbextension/
directory. "Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate" would be a more
suitable name, though longer. What is it? A trivial Python code, with a
few javascript source files, which need to be "compiled" (webpack'ed,
really).

The package existed, so it just needs brushing, ok? Well, the short
answer is: no. The longer answer is that in debian/, there is a lot of
javascript code. Not even always sources. When the package was (last)
prepared, Debian lacked many, many things on the javascript side, so
there was little choice in the matter. The elephant in the room is
webpack : but now we have it!

There are still probably dozens of missing depends, all in a dep graph,
probably not a tree (there will be loops). I'll probably prepare quite
a few package both in the Debian Python Team and the Debian Javascript
Maintainers Team.

I'm sorry if I'm breaking some things along the way : I'll do my best
to avoid that, but from experience you can hardly upgrade things on one
side without breaking something on another...

Help is welcome,

JP

Hi Julien,

Great that you are improving some packages.

I have a hard time understanding what you are trying to say in your post 
below, however...

Did I understand your message correctly, or did I miss something?
