Hi
I am new to python debian packaging, and I'm looking for guidance and
review my packaging. I'm happy to team-maintain these packages if
someone can add me to the salsa group.
Right now I am working on python-sigstore and my packaging is here:
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/sigstore-python/
as you can see in the pipeline, it currently fails due to lacking tuf:
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/sigstore-python/-/jobs/6706412
It seems python-tuf has an old ITP/RFS report here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934151
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=931178
I started from scratch on python-tuf with the latest upstream version,
instead of trying to understand the old packaging work that I couldn't
get to work. Upstream evolved a lot. My packaging is here:
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/python-tuf/
The self-tests tries seems to open some files which fails and I suspect
it is because srcdir != builddir reasons, or something similar, see
errors here:
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/python-tuf/-/jobs/6707693
==================================== ERRORS ====================================
______________ ERROR collecting tests/test_metadata_generation.py ______________
tests/test_metadata_generation.py:10: in <module>

tests/generated_data/generate_md.py:60: in <module>
os.mkdir(OUT_DIR)
E FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'generated_data/ed25519_metadata'
How is this (seamingly common) problem solved normally? Do we copy test
data files into the build directory somehow? Do we include them in the
package? Do we patch hard-coded paths like this to make it work?
If anyone can review my python-tuf and python-sigstore packages, that
would be appreciated -- all nit-picks and style advice is most
recommended, as I have not worked on python packaging before. Don't
assume I understand any of the debian/* content so feel free to question
some decision.
If you want to build python-tuf locally, it depends on a more recent
version of python3-securesystemslib and you can find it here:
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/securesystemslib/
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/securesystemslib/-/pipelines/774721

Thanks,
