Bug#1010897: ITP: python3-versioningit -- PEP 518 driven setuptools plugin for auto-versioning using git/hg
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Yaroslav Halchenko X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: python3-versioningit Version : 1.1.1 Upstream Author : John T. Wodder II * URL : https://github.com/jwodder/versioningit * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : PEP 518 driven setuptools plugin for auto-versioning using git/hg versioningit is yet another setuptools plugin for automatically determining your package's version based on your version control repository's tags. Unlike others, it allows easy customization of the version format and even lets you easily override the separate functions used for version extraction and calculation. Features: - Installed & configured through PEP 518's pyproject.toml - Supports Git, modern Git archives, and Mercurial - Formatting of the final version uses format template strings, with fields for basic VCS information and separate template strings for distanced vs. dirty vs. distanced-and-dirty repository states - Can optionally write the final version to a file for loading at runtime - Provides custom setuptools commands for inserting the final version into a source file at build time - The individual methods for VCS querying, tag-to-version calculation, version bumping, version formatting, and writing the version to a file can all be customized using either functions defined alongside one's project code or via publicly-distributed entry points - Can alternatively be used as a library for use in setup.py or the like, in case you don't want to or can't configure it via pyproject.toml - The only thing it does is calculate your version and optionally write it to a file; there's no overriding of your sdist contents based on what's in your Git repository, especially not without a way to turn it off, because that would just be rude.
Bug#1010899: ITP: python3-pyst -- Python module for interacting with the Asterisk PBX
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Bernd Schumacher * Package name: python3-pyst Version : 0.8 Upstream Author : Ralf Schlatterbeck * URL : https://github.com/schlatterbeck/pyst.git * License : LGPL, PSFL Programming Lang: Python Description : Python module for interacting with the Asterisk PBX Pyst consists of a set of interfaces and libraries to allow programming of Asterisk from python. The library currently supports AGI, AMI, and the parsing of Asterisk configuration files. The library also includes debugging facilities for AGI. In debian buster an older python2 version of pyst called python-pyst is already maintained by Apollon Oikonomopoulos . Now pyst supports also python3. Apollon Oikonomopoulos told me he is a bit short on time these days, and I could feel free to file an ITP and "adopt" the package. Ralf Schlatterbeck told me, he likes to see the a debian python3-pyst pakage.

That isn't feasible, since apt sources are managed external to Debian. At my workplace we have $foo-apt-config* packages that manage our apt sources, modifying them would cause us conffile prompts and that would mean that upgrades to our $foo-apt-config* packages would get blocked, since unattended-upgrades skips packages with conffile prompts. Other people use configuration management systems that overwrite modified files and probably manage their apt sources using those systems, so Debian changes to apt sources would get removed. Others might be running Debian on read-only squashfs images so they would never get the apt sources modifications needed to get firmware from non-free, their image builds could either just fail or maybe silently fail to install the needed firmware files. I'd prefer doing this, as having copies of the same package in both non-free and non-free-firmware is (IMO) a mess. Having the same package in unstable and testing works fine, I don't see why it would be different for non-free and non-free/firmware. If protected by a debconf prompt (by default, doing nothing...), all of your remarks are going away. Example text: > It looks like you have non-free firmware package(s) installed in your > system, but the non-free-firmware repository doesn't look like present > in your sources.list.

That means that people who only ever upgrade via unattended-upgrades or other mechanisms that disable debconf/dpkg prompts etc aren't going to see the prompt. At work we disable them even when upgrading from one release to the next. I think that there are too many potential corner cases in automatically updating apt sources and that it is much simpler to subset non-free than require updates to apt sources. For how to announce the availability of the non-free/firmware subset, an apt hook that checks that installed packages from non-free only include packages with firmware or microcode in their names seems like a good idea, along with the usual info in the release notes etc. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
