Re: Request to Join Project Python Modules Packaging Team from Vincent Cheng (vincentc-guest)

I'm currently a DM (DDPO profile here [1]), and I'd like to join the
DPMT and PAPT to move some of my self-maintained packages (pygame is
one of them) into team maintainership. Most of my other packages are
also team-maintained (I'd estimate half of my packages to be in the
Debian Games team, in fact).
Welcome to the team!
Here's my review of pygame_1.9.2~pre~r3189-2:
You have "python3.2-dev (>= 3.2.3-7)" in Build-Depends. Could you put
"python3.2-dev (<< 3.2.3-7)" in Build-Conflicts instead? That should
have the same effect, while making it easier to remove python3.2 from
the archive in the future.
What is libjs-sphinxdoc in Depends for? The changelog says "Add depends
on libjs-sphinxdoc and replace embedded js libraries with symlinks in
debian/rules", but I don't see anything relevant in debian/rules. But
anyway, should probably put ${sphinxdoc:Depends} in Depends and use
dh_shpinxdoc instead of replacing this stuff manually.
I advocate against using ${python:Provides}:
http://lists.debian.org/20110324164804.GA5919@jwilk.net
It's time to drop Replaces/Conflict with python2.{3,4}-pygame.
“for” loops in debian/rules lack “set -e”; see Policy §4.6.
Please honour DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck.
Please run tests with all supported Python versions, not only the
default one.
Is there a reason test failures are ignored?
You might want to try run the tests under xvfb. Hopefully that should
allow running more of them than currently.
You never call "setup.py build" with python3.X, so building Python 3.X
modules takes place only when you call "setup.py install", that is in
binary* targets, with (pseudo)root privileges. This is something your
should avoid.
/usr/share/pyshared/pygame/docs: AFAICS this is the very same
documentation as in /usr/share/doc/python-pygames/. Are two copies
really needed?
/usr/share/pyshared/examples: examples normally belong to
/usr/share/doc/$package/examples/.
Documentation and examples are quite big, and they are included in both
binary packages. Maybe it would make sense to move them to a separate
documentation package?
/usr/share/pyshared/tests: do tests make sense in the binary package? I
wouldn't install them.
/usr/share/pyshared/pygame/LGPL: Lintian should have emitted
extra-license-file.
I see you overrode image-file-in-usr-lib, but "This is where distutils
installs everything" is a poor excuse. :)
test/test_utils/unittest.py is an embedded copy of stdlib module. Please
make sure it's not used at build time, and that it's not installed into
binary packages.
Please regenerate src/pypm.c from src/pypm.pyx at build time.
docs/reST/ref/code_examples/joystick_calls.py uses "print" as method
name. You can't do that in Python 2.X (unless you import print_function
from __future__).
