[FFe] Please sync dlr-languages 20090805+git.e6b28d27+dfsg-2 from Debian unstable (main)

[Chris Halse Rogers]

 affects ubuntu/ironpython
 subscribe motu-release

I'm filing this against the ironpython source package, as this sync will
supersede it.

Please sync dlr-languages from Debian NEW. This is the new source
package for the CLI Dynamic Language Runtime and the two official
dynamic languages: IronPython and IronRuby. In Debian it has taken over
the ironpython binary package with the consent of Matthias Klose, the
previous ironpython maintainer.

The benefits of this sync are:
*) A much newer IronPython, supporting Python 2.6
*) The new IronPython is now officially supported upstream by Microsoft
*) We get IronRuby

IronPython has no rdepends, so the risks within the archive are minimal.
As this updates IronPython from 1.1.3 which wasn't even CPython
2.5-compatible to 2.6 it's possible this will break some scripts for
users of IronPython, however.

Build, install & basic runtime logs attached.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

while I think the risk is pretty low, it still would need to go through new. If you can find an archive admin willing to take the job, I'm ok with getting it in.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

I'd like an explicit ack from doko that we want this.

last time the package was rejected by Debian's ftp-masters; maybe wait until the packge is accepted. there's no reason to have it not in lcuid.

[C.J. Collier (cjcollier)]

Thanks doko.

The last rejection was due to my lack of complete licensing information, btw. It's been updated and has had a bit more review this time around. My fingers are crossed for a go-ahead from ftp-masters.

[C.J. Collier (cjcollier)]

dlr-languages is now in NEW

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481431#18

I assume that the next step is to petition an archive admin?

[C.J. Collier (cjcollier)]

er, the package has been ACCEPTED, I mean ;)

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

It has landed in unstable: http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dlr-languages.html
Should I rename it to "Please sync"?

[C.J. Collier (cjcollier)]

Yes, please do.

Is a test case required? It's successfully built in an experimental PPA, here's the buildlog:

I can put together hello world tests for ipy, ir, irake, igem, and a few tests for calling into .NET libs if you'd like.

[C.J. Collier (cjcollier)]

$ cat hello.py ; echo '---' ; ipy hello.py
import clr
clr.AddReference('System')
from System import Console
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!")
---
Hello, World!

$ cat hello.rb ; echo '---' ; ir hello.rb
System::Console::WriteLine("Hello, World");
---
Hello, World

$ igem --version

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Ok. So, this has made it through Debian NEW, thus fulfilling doko's precondition. It looks like this should be sync'd after beta freeze.

I'll prod again after Beta if it hasn't been dealt with.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

The freeze doesn't affect Universe.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

I backported ironpython (2.6 Beta 2 DEBUG (2.6.0.20)) for karmic and lucid and tested it on both ubuntu 9.10 and daily build of future 10.04. I noticed two "bugs" (inconveniences might be a better word):

1. The command "import sys; print(sys.path)" doesn't contain python-2.6 directories by default. The older ironpython (1.1.1) does. Is this deliberate?

2. In the interactive shell, ctrl-z doesn't close the app anymore, I have to use "killall -9 ipy" as well. However, "import sys; sys.exit()" works! This reply in a bug report saved the day: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516396#15

The log for the first point:
$ ipy

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Other than that, it looks pretty stable to me!

I mean it includes the path to python-2.4, not python-2.6

[C.J. Collier (cjcollier)]

Dino,

Can you answer #1 below?

Cheers,

C.J.

I've submitted a RFS to get the changes uploaded. I don't know how I would go about making a 1ubuntu1, but I would be willing to do this as well, if my co-maintainers agree.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

I think the universe repository freezes on April 10th, but I'm not 100% sure.

> I don't know how I would go about making a 1ubuntu1
I don't believe that is necessary, if you upload it in time for Debian. I'm not an expert in packaging, nor a MOTU, but I think the package is OK as it is and should work as expected in Ubuntu. :)

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Setting to "confirmed", this got already approved.

[Jo Shields (directhex)]

Just uploaded the -2 package with Savvas's suggested fixes to Sid. So this should be syncable after the 3PM dinstall run

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

Thanks! It's not yet in unstable, but I thought to prepare the bug title :)
