For future, debian-python@lists.debian.org might a better place to ask
for sponsorship of packages like this.
Ok, I will, is that ok if I stay on debian-mentors for that first
package ?
Oh, there's nothing wrong with asking here. It's just there's apparently
not that many experienced Python packagers reading this list.
According to Python Policy 2.2, the binary package name should be
python-autoslug. (Now, you may say that's too generic and that the
package name should include "django" - but so should upstream module
name...)
Yes, I do believe that django-requiring modules should stick in
django namespace. Anyway, it's never the case but all debian packages
I saw are named python-django-*,
I you meant to imply that all Django packages are violating Python
Policy 2.2, then this is not true[0]. It is true, however that most of
them are named incorrectly, and I'm partially responsible for that,
being a sponsor of a few of them.
That said, I won't sponsor any new packages violating 2.2. (You are of
course free to find another sponsor.)
which is quite usefull for the user.
I don't see how python-django-$FOO is more useful than python-$FOO.
Surely the latter is easier to type. ;)
autoslug/tests.py:
- Please run them at build time.
done (needed to add python-all to build-depends).
Now please honour DEB_BUILD_OPTION=nocheck. :)
I see two lines errors on in "QA" section of
http://mentors.debian.net/package/django-autoslug :
Error:
/home/expo/data/live/incoming/django-autoslug_1.4.1-1_amd64.changes
Error: django-autoslug_1.4.1-1.dsc
What do they mean ?
It's some kind of brain damage of mentors.d.n software. Please ignore
it.
Do you see any other issues with this package ?
It would be probably worthwhile to explain the long description what a
"slug field" is. I had to look it up in the documentation, even though
I've been using Django for a few years.
If lintian was a bit smarter, it would trigger
possible-unindented-list-in-extended-description on your package.
