I've also noticed that it requires python-support, some changes in the source and modules in order to be compatible with 2.6 (and probably 3.0).

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

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

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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.

[Jerome Haltom (wasabi)]

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.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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? :)

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

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?

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

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

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

Can I request an FFe to upload 0.0.3 ?

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

You can always ask. Why do we need it?

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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).

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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? :)

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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. :)

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

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

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

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