Hi, In an effort to get rid of python-central I came across bug #617043. I noticed that in the Git repository a newer upstream version is available and a number of packaging improvements were done (amongst which switching to dh_python2).
A few things were missing tough. Attached is a patch (complete-switch-to-dh_python2.patch) relative to the Git version to complete the switch to dh_python2. I haven't been able to test it because the Git version currently FTBFS (see attached buikd.log.gz). The normal build log is too quiet about that (see dump-correct-build.log-on-failure.patch for a fix). I can also prepare an patch or even NMU for version 1:5.12-1.5 (currently in unstable) if you prefer. I furthermore saw that the changes in Git were pretty old and at least the latest NMUs are not in Git (and probably changes in those NMUs not merged). Btw, is there a particular reason this package isn't in the PMPT repository? A lot of Python modules are there and the collaborative maintenance works reasonably well (they use svn-buildpackage though instead of git-buildpackage). -- -- arthur - adej...@debian.org - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
