python-babel
Hello,
The python-babel [1] package is currently broken, there isn't any bugs
reported yet, but after the transit to
python3.8 it failed the testsuite. New upstream version 2.7.0 and above
fixes these issues.
To update the package there is a 'repack' script which i believe is
broken, I at least did most of the work
manually. For that reason I haven't dared push it to the official repo
yet, if anyone have time, it will be nice
with a second opinion. It's still some work left, but it builds and
tests fine. The version I updated is currently here [2]
The script might only require a minor fix but i noticed that the files
being downloaded already exist
within Debian. The package unicode-cldr-core [3].
Is it possible to have this as a build-dependency, have a Files-Excluded
in d/copyright file and
drop the repack script altogether? If there still is a reason to change
the files in the first place.
If this makes it any easier/better of course.
I'll appreciate all kinds of feedback.
Håvard
