Bug#1109046: ITP: sphinx-pytest -- Helpful pytest fixtures for sphinx extensions
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Carsten Schoenert X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: sphinx-pytest Version : 0.2.0 Upstream Contact: Chris Sewell * URL : https://github.com/sphinx-extensions2/sphinx-pytest * License : Expat Programming Lang: Python Description : Helpful pytest fixtures for sphinx extensions Sphinx is annoying, because the modularity is not great, meaning that there is no real way just to convert single documents in isolation, etc. . This extension mainly provides some pytest fixtures to "simulate" converting some source text to docutils AST at different stages; before transforms, after transforms, etc. This package is build dependency for the tests in sphinx-sqlalchemy (ITP: https://bugs.debian.org/1109045). I intend to maintain this package within the DPT. Regards Carsten

Bug#1109076: ITP: pykdumpfile -- Python bindings for libkdumpfile
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Michel Lind X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, mic...@michel-slm.name * Package name: pykdumpfile Version : 0.5.5.1 Upstream Contact: Petr Tesarik * URL : https://github.com/ptesarik/pykdumpfile * License : GPLv2+ Programming Lang: Python Description : Python bindings for libkdumpfile Python bindings for libkdumpfile. This used to be part of libkdumpfile itself, but is removed right after libkdumpfile 0.5.5 was cut: https://github.com/ptesarik/libkdumpfile/commit/40c9ff981f1f3bd968af37a50b50c3478d8267cd I intend to build this in experimental against the libkdumpfile 0.5.5 there (which has the Python bindings intentionally turned off) and then rebuild everything (libkdumpfile, drgn, and pykdumpfile) for unstable. I plan to maintain this myself, I can add the Python team if they are interested; while I don't use the bindings directly I maintain libkdumpfile itself as a dependency of drgn.
Bug#1109079: ITP: rust-threecpio -- Manage initrd cpio archives
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Benjamin Drung X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, bdr...@debian.org * Package name: rust-threecpio Version : 0.8.0 Upstream Contact: Benjamin Drung * URL : https://github.com/bdrung/3cpio * License : ISC Programming Lang: Rust Description : Manage initrd cpio archives cpio is a tool to manage initramfs cpio files for the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel's initramfs buffer format is based around the newc or crc cpio formats. Multiple cpio archives can be concatenated and the last archive can be compressed. Different compression algorithms can be used depending on what support was compiled into the Linux kernel. 3cpio is tailored to initramfs cpio files and will not gain support for other cpio formats. . 3cpio supports creating, examining, listing, and extracting the content of the initramfs cpio. I like to join the Debian Rust packaging team and maintain 3cpio as part of the team. I'll be at DebConf next week which would be a good time to get in contact with the team and learn the specifics of it. The plan is to replace cpio by 3cpio in Ubuntu main by letting initramfs-tools and dracut learn to use 3cpio. The change for initramfs-tools is already ready for review/testing: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/172 3cpio is written in Rust and is faster than cpio. See https://github.com/bdrung/3cpio for benchmark results. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
