#9970 — Debian package cherrypy3: Status?

Hi all, Carl,

I noticed

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cherrypy3

is quite outdated, last upload is from 2014 -- then however, 

git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/python-modules/packages/cherrypy3.git

has quite some changes, and at least updates to upstream 8.8, but it
has never been uploaded.

Is there still work going on, or is there some good reason not to
upload?

I'd offer to (add my self to Uploaders and) help here if this is just a
"resource thing" ;).

Thx!

S

Hi Stephan,

Yes I attempted to update the packaging of a handful of existing python 
packages that I needed as dependencies. I got stuck on some of them 
partly because I was just learning the (python) packaging workflow and 
partly because I don't actually use any of those python packages.

If you would like to take over and continue what I started with updating 
cherrypy3, or start from scratch then please do! It's still been on my 
radar to return to when I get more time, but I don't use cherrypy myself 
so I'm more than happy for someone else to pick it up. I can't recall if 
there was a failing build/test or if I just wasn't confident enough in 
the state of my packaging to ask for a sponsor before I ran out of time 
to work on it.

Cheers,
Carl

ok, thanks for the clarification.

So, if no one else is stepping up, I will eventually look into it and
try to continue your work.

Thx!

#9984 — Debian package cherrypy3: Status!

Hi all,

(you are probably getting this as you are Debian maintainer for one of
the packages in [1], declaring a dependency on cherryp3 -- sorry for
the noise)

I eventually actually did ;).

The good news:

We now have an updated package in experimental (8.9.1-1). Please let
me know if there are any severe problems with that new package -- if
not, this will eventually go to unstable.

However (aka bad news):

It seems that 8.9.1 (most recent version is 12.0.1) is the last
upstream that can be packaged in the current manner:

- Since v9, the httpd/wscgiserver part has gone to a separate upstream
'cheroot' [2].
- Later versions also require python packages not in Debian yet [3].

So I guess, for the future, the 1st step would be an ITP for the new
cheroot upstream?

Thx!

Stephan
