RFS: taskcoach - useful task manager - new - python app
Alejandro Garrido Mota
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "taskcoach".
* Package name : taskcoach
Version : 1.2.2-1
Upstream Author : Task Coach developers <devel...@taskcoach.org>
* URL : http://www.taskcoach.org/
* License : GPL-3+
Section : utils
It builds these binary packages:
taskcoach - friendly and simple task manager
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 509768
My motivation for maintaining this package is: I use this application
like my personal task manager,.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/taskcoach
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/taskcoach/taskcoach_1.2.2-1.dsc
Also is found in http://github.com/mogaal/taskcoach
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
Alejandro Garrido Mota

Just downloaded it to have a quick look and noticed that it build-depends
on libcurl3-dev. Why?
Even for an "initial release", you can put some comments in
debian/changelog explaining your initial packaging choices and the
unusual work you did (writing/applying a patch falls in this category).
Cheers,

Also /usr/share/pyshared/taskcoachlib/thirdparty contains python code
grabbed from third parties, i.e. those are embedded libraries and we
try to avoid those in particular if they have already been packaged
separately in Debian.
You want to check those one by one and use the officially packaged variant
when it exists (i.e. replacing the files with symlinks towards the
official package).
Cheers,

Just a minor comment: your man page is dated 2008-12-25, but your git
repository shows you last changed it on 2010-04-14. You should change
the date tag in the man page to reflect that; it will also make it
coherent with your debian/copyright file.
Cheers,

I also suggest you apply the changes below to your man page; it should
make it more readable. And you may want to change the SEE ALSO link to
point directly to the online documentation [1] (although it would be
nice to have a local copy of the user manual too).

Done, I have fixed and included all suggestions. The package is
up-to-date in my git repository and mentors. Thanks you.
PD: I don't remember why I put libcurl3-dev, but I check and it
doesn't seem necessary

As it seems there has been little response to your RFS after Raphael's initial
comments you might want to start working with the Python Apps Packaging team
instead. Most probably there are several people available who are well
acquainted with Python apps and can readily review your package. Please see
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonAppsPackagingTeam
for further information.
Best regards,
Michael
