[Pkg-electronics-devel] gnucap-python package rfs

Hi Felix,

I can give it a try. :)

1. Please make the package build first. I tried with "gbp buildpackage" on the tip
of the master branch, but it barely starts. By reverting one commit, it gets
further, but still it fails building:


../configure: line 3823: python3.7: command not found
configure:3825: $? = 127
configure:3830: result: no
configure:3832: error: Python interpreter is too old

and so on..



2. Also, please change the version 0.0.0 to something containing the date and
SHA1 of the lastest commit (since upstream probably does not make releases)

Typically something like
  0.0~gitYYYYMMDD.<SHA1>-1
 or
  0.0~YYYYMMDDgit<SHA1>-1


3. Please put a file called "gbp.conf" in the debian folder with this content:

[DEFAULT]
pristine-tar = True


This makes it actually use the pristine-tar data you've already added.


4. I cannot find the upstream source in http://gnucap.org which is listed as
"Homepage" in debian/control, and "Source" in debian/copyright. Is this really
the correct upstream? Please add a debian/watch file which uniquely describes
where to find the upstream source.

> Please move the package to [2].

When it builds out-of-the-box, I can do it ;)

When it builds, I will also have a look at the other formalities in the
package.

> gnucap-python provides python bindings for gnucap and corresponding
> plugins for gnucap, all implemented with swig.

Sounds useful.


Cheers,
Ruben
