[Karmic] Please update gapti to version 0.0.3 (bzr rev 34)

Matching build log: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23743844/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-i386.gapti_0.0.2ubuntu4_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz

P.S. In case you're wondering about the empty lines:
"+ Replaced lines with spaces (\s+) with empty lines"

Also, I've done a lot of changes based on the fact that there wasn't a new release from upstream since 2006

For universe sponsors, after consulting several people on #ubuntu-motu it all summed up in one line:
06:49:03 < wgrant> As much as it can be nice to play upstream sometimes, we are not upstream for gapti.

Unless you believe otherwise, please disregard the patch above, I have notified the original author of gpti about this patch, perhaps it will be imported upstream.

Great work Savvas! Is there an usptream bug for it somewhere?

I linked it with the launchpad project, the maintainer there will be notified, I'll wait for their response :)

Here's a backup plan, I made a smaller patch, still with python-support, with only the required replacements, which are done through debian/rules and sed.

Hi. Sorry, haven't worked on this in ages. Actually wasn't aware people were using it. Really wanted to get back into it. You happen to clean it up?

I'll just add you to the launchpad group and you can commit it.

Hi Jerome, I've applied for gapti-dev team :)
I'll try and update it for jaunty, but if you think that this isn't used and that this project isn't going to be maintained upstream anymore, we should ask for a package removal.

Woops, forgot about this - I'll apply the patch tomorrow, as soon as I get home!

ok revisions 27 and 28:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gapti-dev/gapti/trunk/revision/27
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gapti-dev/gapti/trunk/revision/28

Does anyone have anything else to recommend? :)

Savvas: what do you want to get uploaded now?

The "smaller patch" does not include the porting, but it changes from CDBS to debhelper. Is this what we want in?

It still needs some work - I'll revert to the old cdbs, it seems
better to keep it that way.
Give me two days :)

I mean I'll make a bugfix release (0.0.3) and ask for an FFe upload.

Well... I eventually decided to keep python-support, could prove better in the future.
I added a setup.py to do the "legwork" for the data installation.

Reflects revision 34 in gapti trunk:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gapti-dev/gapti/trunk/changes

P.S. I'm sorry if the changes in the ChangeLog seem messy. :)

Version 0.0.2ubuntu4 adapted gapti to be installable with Python 2.6, is anything else required?

Can I request an FFe to upload 0.0.3 ?

You can always ask. Why do we need it?

It's mostly the "smaller" patch mentioned above, directly changed to
source, with proper copyright and license, debhelper 7 and of course
compatibility with python2.6 (and probably later versions).

Here is the changelog with changes introduced in 0.0.3:

Ok, I misunderstood the "feature-freeze exception".
It seems that since this is a bug-fix release only (improvements in packaging), without any features, so I just need a sponsor for it (Thanks Luca!).

Any takers? :)

When you run the current version of gapti in ubuntu jaunty:

$ apt-cache policy gapti
gapti:
  Installed: 0.0.2ubuntu4
  Candidate: 0.0.2ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 0.0.2ubuntu4 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ gapti
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gapti", line 16, in <module>
    from UpdateManager.Common.SimpleGladeApp import SimpleGladeApp
ImportError: No module named Common.SimpleGladeApp

Since it is late, I'm asking for a feature freeze exception, since version 0.0.3 uses the correct modules.
No-one has complained about it not working though, it could wait for karmic if you believe there are more important bugs to squash. :)

Ack'ed by ScottK on IRC, #ubuntu-motu:
2009-04-17 05:54:00 (CEST) < ScottK> savvas: motu-release ack to fix gapti.

After Laney's request on IRC, I made the "really-minimal-patch" to just make gapti work for now. :)

Setting back to New since what was uploaded wasn't 0.0.3

Please unsubscribe ubuntu sponsors, I will take care of this some other day :)
