FFe granted for python-pytz, and I'll mark the rest of them confirmed as I go

zope.location includes a new upstream release. I assume this is necessary?

I notice some of them remove pydeb some don't. Any particular reason?

Any particuar reason to drop zope.sendmail's test suite?

A new version of zope.location was not necessary. New version now includes LICENSE.txt, so I could drop the in-place patch.

It also tightens dependencies a little, but that does not matter much for Debian packages.

zope.sendmail update does not drop the test suite. It replaces the script with an include of test_helper script from zope.testing, like all other Zope packages do.

In reality, there is no automated testing of Debian Zope packages. The files in debian/tests are for autopkgtest, and I update them, but there is no buildbot that does run those tests.

pydeb generates more specific dependencies, with version requirements, and also handles setuptools extras (allows to move extra dependencies to suggests/recommends or a metapackage). Where the upstream package has very few dependencies, version requirements are satisfied in old Debian/Ubuntu releases, or there are no extras/only test extra with zope.testing, dh_python2 is enough, so I removed the build-depends on van.pydeb.

The hope is to add the missing features from dh_pydeb to dh_python2 and retire the former.

Please also consider how such features would relate to python3 and file bugs against python-defaults and python3-defaults in Debian (patches welcome).

Stefano, Gediminas. I notice that the merge proposal for zope.sqlalchemy also updates the package to the latest upstream version. Does the FFe approval also cover that? I'm willing to upload it if so.

Barry: Thanks, I should have clarified that.

Gediminas: I assumed a new zope.sqlalchemy was required to support sqlalchemy 0.6 (zope.sqlalchemy 0.6 claims to be the first version to do so, in the changelog). Correct? Have you checked that the single reverse-dependency isn't broken?

Stefano: yes, the newer zope.sqlalchemy is to support the sqlalchemy 0.6 that is in ubuntu since maverick. Maybe the old version works as well, but the changes are minor, mostly bugfixes and more tests. If anything, it's the old version that is broken.

The old version had other problems, e.g. a long list of conflicts with old SQLAlchemy versions, no license. I did not want to make two uploads, first for transition, with patches, and the other new version, removing those patches, so made one.

Barry: FFe covers the dh_python2 transition. zope.sqlalchemy is in universe, so feature freeze does not apply to it. Please upload.

What makes you think feature freeze doesn't apply to Universe?

It does sound like we should go ahead with the new version for zope.sqlalchemy. FFe approved for that too.
