#12132 — small remark on packaging consistency

Hi DMPT,

Two tiny remarks related to the recent python3-testpath upgrade to 0.4.4+dfsg-1.

1. Two open bugs were almost the same (or at least to me):

#945214 assigned to python3-pip and reassigned to python3-testpath on Sun, 08
Dec 2019 12:45:05 GMT

and

#945887 assigned to jupyter-notebook and reassigned to python3-testpath on Sat,
30 Nov 2019 16:42:02 GMT

But why it was only the first that was closed with the last upgrade?

2. Also regarding this bug why still using some d/rules treatment using an extra
debian template file to generate an .egg-info file while the upstream version is
now providing a PKG-INFO file that is actually not part of the Debian salsa
repository for this package?
Other DMPT packages do not seem to do the same to generate and provide this
.egg-info file.

Thanks,
Patrice

Oops! I did it again?

Well, I sent the merging mail, but didn't get the answer that they
couldn't be merged (differing severity) before I actually uploaded, so
I marked it fixed in this version later.

I just unbroke what was there, and didn't look further.

This PKG-INFO file doesn't appear in the salsa repo for the Debian
packaging because it doesn't appear in upstream's tarball (git import-
orig --uscan), and I just had a look and didn't see it in upstream's
github repo either. Or did I miss it?

I have now looked further : "git blame" says Ximin Luo added it (commit
ab9d454b) and the documented reason is: "Add an .egg-info file so pip
recognises it. (Closes: #880241)" ; so it looks like there was a valid
reason and it's a nice contribution...

If there's something to do to improve the packaging, I'm open to
suggestions (and contributions!).

Cheers,

JP

Hi Julien,

For the PKG-INFO file I just found it inside the .tar.gz available here where I
am checking Python module:
https://pypi.org/project/testpath/#files

but may be I am wrong to check such a source. This repository is may be adding
it then.

Otherwise sure the new package is much better and fine to me, it was rather
facts that aroused my curiosity.

Thanks for all,
Patrice

Well, pypi isn't upstream...

No problem : feedback is helpful!

Cheers,
