Bug#806716: ITP: python-jellyfish -- Python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching of strings



Hello Carl,

> Has there been any progress on this?

As far as I know, unfortunately this issue is still stalled due to
waiting on a decision (and action) about the naming conflicts.

> Since python3-jellyfish from the DNA package has been in the archive for a
> little while, it seems like it would be a bad idea to use that name and hence

> python*-jellyfish-strings (or -matching)?

While renaming _this_ package was the proposed solution during most of
the ITP discussions, please be aware that the most recent (~2 months)
recommendation from #debian-python [1][2] would be to rename _the Python
DNA package_ instead. I'm still trying to find out Andrea's point of
view on this recommendation [3], though. 

The details are a bit scattered among the RFS, ITP, etc., but a short
recap would be that, for this bug to move forward it would be needed to:
1) rename the existing python3-jellyfish Python bindings *module* name
(in progress at [4])
2) make a decision on which package is to be renamed (this one vs DNA)
3) proceed with the actually renaming of the package

I'll be a bit short on time during next week, but I intend to update the
package to the newest upstream version (released this week) early next
month, and also do my best to try to give another push to getting this
ITP forward - any suggestions, comments and help would be much
appreciated.
