• Packaging multivolumefile?

    From Andreas Metzler@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 30 13:40:01 2024
    Hello,

    I originally intended to file an ITP, but it probably makes more sense
    to ask here:

    py7zr >= 0.16.0 requires multivolumefile by the same author. How about packaging it under the debian-python umbrella?

    ----------------
    * Source package name : python-multivolumefile
    * Binary Package name : python3-multivolumefile
    Version : 0.2.3
    Upstream Contact: Hiroshi Miura <miurahr@linux.com>
    * URL : https://codeberg.org/miurahr/multivolume
    * License : LGPL-2.1+
    Programming Lang: Python
    Description : multiple files-wrapping library for Python

    MultiVolumefile is a Python library to provide file-object wrapping
    multiple files as virtually like as a single file. It inherits
    io.RawIOBase class and supports some of its standard methods.
    ----------------
    The upstream projectname is "multivolume", I would go for python-multivolumefile to better match the module name and add a python
    prefix since I am not using the upstream name anyway.)

    multivolume has not seen any activity in GIT for about two years,
    however py7zr seems to be alive.

    I would be willing to do the grunt work but have basically zero
    experience in packaging python modules, so I would appreciate some handholding/feedback.

    TIA, cu Andreas

    Nevermind, YOKOTA Hiroshi already has done this and more and is looking
    for sponsors.
