Bug#998109: python3-numpy: numpy.typing is missing

[Drew Parsons]

Package: python3-numpy
Version: 1:1.21.2-2
Severity: important

python3-numpy is missing numpy.typing

I gather numpy.typing was added in numpy 1.20. Some packages have
already started using it, e.g. npx.

Followup-For: Bug #998109
Control: severity -1 serious
Control: affects -1 src:pygmsh src:python-meshplex

This bug is blocking other python packages which require numpy 1.20,
(and use numpy.typing) so raising severity to serious.

sorry but that's not how RC severity works, that's for policy
violations, which in this case there are none.

I understand you may want to see this fixed sooner rather than later,
so maybe you can submit an MR against the numpy salsa repo to fix
this? i'll then review, merge and upload as needed.

It's a trivial patch, isn't it?
Just add
usr/lib/python3*/*-packages/numpy/typing/
to debian/python3-numpy.install.

No need for an MR, I can patch it directly if needed.

The bigger question here is why are the subdirs listed separately?
Is it in order to handle the dbg libraries (python3-numpy-dbg.install) ?
Since python3-dbg is now deprecated (Bug#994316), do we want to simplify
the package by replacing all the subdirs in python3-numpy.install with
just
usr/lib/python3*/*-packages/numpy/

That would keep this bug from happening again with other new features in
the future.

that's a fair point, and i cant recall why it's setup that way. I'll
keep a note to review when we're ready to drop the -dbg package (there
are still a handful of rdeps)

Thanks Sandro, works well. I've uploaded npx to NEW now.
