[Debichem-devel] Bug#910686: Pymol 2.2.0 sources available from github

[Stuart Prescott]

Further to our recent discussions of pymol

* I've pushed a couple of changes to git for version 2.2.0+dfsg-1 which I 
think is ready to upload to unstable.

* I've also pushed a debian/experimental branch that uses Python 3 and Qt. I 
think it's ready to get uploaded to experimental at least -- it will go 
through NEW on the way.

I'll make these two uploads in a few days unless anyone spots problems.

Looking through the build-time and autopkgtest tests, I found a few Python 2→3 
problems that I've patched (already merged upstream). 

I'm not convinced that the tests we've got actually test the package properly 
-- if individual tests fail, the tests are still reported as passed. In 
discussing testing with upstream, it seems there is a separate repository of 
tests that can be used. Do we add that as an extra tarball for a multi-tarball 
source package? Or try to upload it as an extra source package?
