Could you update the package to more recent 0.7.1? I did get http://mediagoblin.org/download/mediagoblin-0.7.1.tar.gz and 'uupdate -u', which seemed to go ok. Then I had to remove 0001-Fix-Babel-version-restriction.-Onward-and-upward.patch (already applied in 0.7.1), and package built and installed.
however, running "sudo -i -u mediagoblin /usr/bin/gmg -cf /etc/mediagoblin/default/mediagoblin.ini dbupdate" dies with "ImportError: No module named unidecode". Installing python-unidecode (or python3-unidecode, I guess) fixes that, so we should add that dependency for 0.7.1. Same thing is needed for "python-jsonschema|python3-jsonschema". Afterwards, it dies with File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mediagoblin/tools/metadata.py", line 25, in <module> from pyld import jsonld ImportError: No module named pyld and it doesn't seem like there is pyld in debian. "pip install PyLD" works around that, but we should probably package it and add it is a dependency? "gmg dbupdate" then dies with: "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mediagoblin/tools/metadata.py", line 105, in load_resource return file(filename).read() IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mediagoblin/static/metadata/rdfa11.jsonld'" manually copying (as I couldn't find how to make it included in package) with: mkdir -p /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mediagoblin/static/metadata; cp mediagoblin/static/metadata/rdfa11.jsonld /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mediagoblin/static/metadata/rdfa11.jsonld finally allows "gmg dbbupdate" to finish, although it outputs a warning: sudo -i -u mediagoblin /usr/bin/gmg -cf /etc/mediagoblin/default/mediagoblin.ini dbupdate WARNING:mediagoblin.init.config:When setting up config section, could not import 'mediagoblin.media_types.image' -> Updating main mediagoblin tables: + Running migration 20, "add_metadata_column"... done. + Running migration 21, "fix_privilege_user_association_table"... done. + Running migration 22, "add_index_username_field"... done. + Running migration 23, "revert_username_index"... done hmm, I though we fixed that "mediagoblin.media_types.image" warning when we started depending on python-pil (of which I have 2.5.1-1 installed)? Anyway, to actually run the server I also needed to do "pip install exifread", to that too probably neeeds to be packaged. I don't know how easy it is to package additional python modules? For perl and CPAN, that is 5-minute-job with dh-make-perl, but I don't see dh-make-python... Anyway, those dependencies on two new python modules seems to be only real obstacle to getting 0.7.1 to be packaged... Also, once created, how easy is to add them in debian archive? Any idea how to proceed here? Also, as mentioned before, I'd like to help with automating some of manual tasks in README.Debian. As I'm not a DD and don't have R/W access to anonscm.debian.org, I though about cloning repo from http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/mediagoblin.git/ somewhere else (github) and then periodically when I have something accomplished asking here for merge? Is there a prefered way? -- Opinions above are GNU-copylefted. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
