Hmmm... QA procedures... they have unit tests, that's the QA...
See above : upstream has its own build system...Switching to a more standard build system would be nice.
I had proposed an autotools-based system, but they didn't like it...
$ pep8 --ignore W191 .That's for upstream, isn't it?Yes. pep8 is just a style checker so if they don't want to use standard formatting that is fine.
Ok.
maybe recreate during build?Hmmm... the source appears to be the .svg ; I don't think I ship it in the -doc package, so I don't think I should care. I'm not sure I'm eager to put my hand in their doc-building yet...Perhaps file a bug upstream asking to remove them from the VCS/tarballs and always build them from the source?
I don't think they change the .svg that often, so not including its conversions in the tarball would mean a new dep for arb which they don't want.
