Hello python-people, I need to package django-rest-framework-filters in order to make lava (hardware test framework) work nicely in debian. https://www.linaro.org/engineering/projects/lava/ I found https://wiki.debian.org/Python/GitPackaging which seems very helpful That seems to say to just start a project on salsa, but I thought I'd better ask here if that was right, as this seems to imply that the debian python modules team would then be adopting this? I've done very little python packaging so advice on best approach is very welcome. Is there a dh_make-alike for python, or should I base the packing on something related, like djangorestframework-*/drf-*? And it looks like it should be called src:drf-filters binary:python3-djangoresetframework-filters to fit in with naming conventions of related packages/python team (even though upstream is 'django-rest-framework-filters'). Right? Also related: I've updated drf-extensions to 0.4 (from the current 0.3.1), as that is needed for lava, and fixes https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865851 What I'm not quite sure about is if there is any reason _not_ to update this package. It has no reverse dependencies so I presume this is a good idea and I should just get on with it? would a 10-day NMU be appropriate? I have another mostly written-mail with details of what I did, whcih I'll send shortly, but it's pretty uncontroversial. Cheers for any pointers.
