Include bitesize script in ubuntu-dev-tools

[Daniel Holbach]

As part of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-o-developer-initiatives we want to encourage developers to identify more bitesize bugs. To make that easier we wrote a small script that automates the task. To get more people to use it we'd like to backport it to natty.

I took the bitesize script and its manpage from lp:ubuntu-dev-tools, updated debian/copyright and setup.py accordingly. It builds and installs just fine.

The reason I did not backport the whole current lp:ubuntu-dev-tools (and reverted r1087 in ./bitesize) is for us to avoid a conflicts/replaces dance with a newer devscripts. That's also why I called it 0.122.1+bitesize~natty1 and not 0.124~natty1.

It looks like the version of u-d-t currently in oneiric (0.123) already includes the bitesize script. If we act quickly (i.e. before there's another upload of u-d-t), would a no-change backport of that version be sufficient for your needs?

I'd be happy to ACK that if you can verify b/i/r.

We fixed a couple of bugs in trunk, which are not in sid or oneiric yet. I made sure they're in this upload.

It does b/i/r.

I'm about to head out the city for a few days. If you approve can you upload it as well? Thanks a lot for looking into this.

Some scripts were moved from ubuntu-dev-tools to devscripts. One option would be to backport devscripts 2.11.0 and ubuntu-dev-tools 0.124. The problem with the versioning is that there will be more SRUs (for e.g. distro-info).

[Evan Broder (broder)]

Daniel's approach does make sense to me, and I'd just as soon avoid having to do multiple backports.

ACK from backporters on just backporting bitesize. I'll sponsor the upload shortly.

Accepted the upload.
