Hallo,
I intend to package paperless-ng.
Many of its dependencies are packaged in Debian but in an older
version. You can see the list at
https://salsa.debian.org/mechtilde/paperless-ng/-/wikis/home
Are there any hints to upload newer versions?
Kind regards
Hi,
If you're looking at the requirements.txt file from upstream to tell
what version you need in Debian, this is a *very* wrong approach.
What's happening is that your upstream is using the requirements.txt to
tell pip what version to fetch for paperless-ng testing. This is, in no
way, some indication of what should be in your package.
For example, the requirements.txt contains:
pytz==2021.1
however, I'd be really surprised if paperless-ng wouldn't work with some
other version of python3-tz (even an older one).
What's harder then, is to know what is the minimum version of each
component for your application. However, running internal tests at build
time may help you to know.
I hope this helps,
Cheers,
