Veusz in Debian Science?
Hi -
I'm currently working on packaging Veusz under the Debian Python project
(I'm also upstream). Veusz is a GUI 2D and 3D scientific plotting
package and python plotting module. See https://veusz.github.io/ for
more details.
Veusz hasn't been updated in Debian for a long time. I've made a number
of changes to the packaging. It now uses Qt5 and has Python 2 and 3
modules. It seems a bit tricky to get a new version uploaded.
Maybe the project is better suited to Debian Science than Debian Python.
Is there someone willing to take a look at it and work towards an upload?
I think the packaging is reasonable. There are now quite a lot of
subpackages, mainly to have both Python 2 and 3 compatibility, to split
out the arch all and arch any, and to not duplicate the shared data
between the two. This could be reduced if we dropped Python 2 packaging,
but maybe someone finds it useful.
It's currently hosted at
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/applications/veusz/
(unfortunately I can't get the tests in the continuous integration
working using Xvfb, but it builds fine for me in pbuilder).
Thanks
Jeremy Sanders
