official debian package? about pass-update HOT 9 OPEN

i have submitted the Debian package into the Debian archive. the Git repository tracking my work is available here:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pass-extension-update

It has small cosmetic changes to the debian/ directory and I added a patch to fix bash completion (#25), which is already in git here (8721eb0).

The Debian bug tracking this issue is in #1063912.

It would be great to have a new release upstream to remove that patch (#32)!

Let me know if you want to maintain the Debian package going forward. For now, I've made myself maintainer, but we can perfectly keep this repository here as the canonical copy instead, and I would then just "sponsor" your uploads (which basically means I review the diff, build the package, sign it with my PGP key and upload it).

Let me kno!

Hi, thanks, yes a new release is coming (alongside with pass-import and pass-audit), I only have some time constraint at the moment.

I will gladly co-maintain/maintain the package for Debian if I can.

oh hi! :)

so i've submitted the package in Debian already. i'm happy to tweak it to add you as a co-maintainer, or make you a maintainer, at your preference. otherwise, we can just keep things this way and i'll follow you closely, don't worry. :)

the package is now waiting in the NEW queue for admission / review. you can see it here:

Co-maintaining will be fine for now (I don't have that much experience in Debian packaging). I will try to make a new release over the week end.

@anarcat would you have any recommendation about the best (modern) way to build/package pass-update?

According to roddhjav/pass-audit#32 installing data file with setup.py is not the best solution. But such a construction would break install from pip, which is an issue.

i'll take a look and comment over there, it's a common problem and i think i probably have solutions over here. :)

hmm... so i've tried to build the 2.2 release and i think it's broken. lintian is complaining with:

E: pass-extension-update: file-directly-in-usr-share [usr/share/__main__.py]

it looks like the main file doesn't get installed correctly... any idea what might have caused this regression?

from pass-update.

Dam, thanks for this catch. My mistake, the new makefile installed by default this new file. It is a simple dev script that automate the release process, it should obviously not have been packaged.

from pass-update.

This is now fixed. Once I get the solution regarding the completion, I will create a new release.
