• Consul library packaging

    From Tomasz Rybak@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 17 22:20:02 2024
    Hello.
    I'm writing trying to understand current status of Consul-related
    packages. Therefore I put all people who were involved in packaging
    them into CC.

    Currently we have 2 packages in the team:
    * python-consul, packaged by Olivier Sallou in 2017-08-30
    * python-consul2, packaged by Roland Mas in 2021-09-19

    Unfortunately both packages are in quite old versions and haven't
    seen new versions uploaded to Debian since initial upload.
    python-consul got two additional uploads by Holger Levsen and Sandro
    Tossi - both were Debian releases, fixing problems with package
    but not updating it to the new version. Therefore package is still in
    original version 0.7.1 from 2017.
    python-consul2 is in similar state: it also had few additional uploads
    but also stays in version 0.1.5 from 2021.

    I guess the problem is caused by mess with upstream repositories.
    python-consul was packaged from
    https://github.com/cablehead/python-consul
    tag v0.7.1, commit a343f96d0b755407dfbb07d9efdc8b2b977bcc41 from
    Mon Aug 7 16:21:10 2017 +0530

    There were some other commits, but development stopped in August
    of 2018. python-consul2 was packaged from https://github.com/poppyred/python-consul2.git, most probably from
    latest commit 7aa1ff4103f6c8e6e79d614bbcd554b6e835a6f9 from
    Thu Feb 18 18:29:16 2021 +0800. This repository was fork of
    cablehead repository, but changed versioning (from 0.7.1 to 0.1.5);
    it had some activity between September 2019 and November 2020.

    It looks like currently development occurs at https://github.com/criteo/py-consul.git.
    It's forked from latest commit from cablehead repository, 53eb41c4760b983aec878ef73e72c11e0af501bb.
    Looks like development from poppyred repository was not copied.

    Alexandre Detiste started working on updating python-consul packaging:
    he updated upstream to 1.5.0 and worked on dependencies. Unfortunately
    looks like nothing happened since May.

    I'm interested in Python Consul package, as I'm using it at work.
    Alexandre - do you need help with packaging?

    Question to DPT - what are we doing with python-consul2?
    I'd propose to RM it after uploading newest version pf python-consul,
    but wanted to discuss it first.

    Best regards.

    Hi,

    I've finally finished updating python3-consul.

    I realise consol.io itself is not packaged in Debian
    (and there's no ITP/RFP).


    As a prior packager of consul in Debian, https://bugs.debian.org/1055054 is relevant (I don't believe consul is coming back anytime soon).
