[Popcon-developers] Bug#265360: popularity-contest: reporting of Python files broken
Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.23
Severity: normal
The popularity-contest is broken wrt. to pyc files.
It considers a file present in a package only if .pyc
is listed in the package contents. However, according
to the python-policy (/usr/share/doc/python/python-policy*),
a package must generate .pyc files upon installation,
instead of including them in the .deb file.
So popularity-contest should use the following procedure:
- if a file ends with .py, check whether .pyc is present.
If so, use time stamps of this file instead.
- also check for .pyo in addition to .pyc.
Regards,
Martin
