News for Debian developers

This wiki page collects small news that all developers should know but that are not worth a dedicated mail to debian-devel-announce. Follow the template "Example of news" and add your news below it. See /Help for more information on how to write entries.

If you are able to post to debian-devel-announce (all Debian members can) and there are 5 or more items below, you might want to send out the news. To send out a new issue, you can use this helper script to generate the email version of this page. After generating the mail, proof-read it, correct any spelling, formatting or grammatical errors and send out the mail.

Android Tools Team

As part of Debian's project in Google Summer of Code, Hans-Christoph Steiner and Markus Koschany be mentoring two students, Kai-Chung Yan and Komal Sukhani. We are going to be working on getting the Android SDK and tools into Debian, as part of the Android tools team, building upon the existing work already included from the Java packaging and Android Tools teams. This project is in conjunction with the Java team since there is overlap between Android and Java tools, like gradle, maven, etc. Since this work is in Debian, all of the Debian derivatives will automatically inherit this work.

Google Code closing

Google Code is closing soon. New project creation is already disabled. The site will go read-only on August 24, 2015 and the project project hosting service will be closed on January 25, 2016. Tarballs of project source, issues, and wikis will be available throughout the rest of 2016. There are quite a number of projects in Debian that use Google Code for their hosting. Folks who maintain packages whose upstream projects use Google Code might want to talk to their upstreams about where they will move to and or backup code repositories and other data. Folks might also want to talk to their upstreams about using free tools that are available for hosting software projects.

uscan redirector pypi.debian.net

Changes on pypi.python.org removed the support for a directory listing that is easy to parse for uscan. Piotr provides now a redirector service on pypi.debian.net that serves you a useful listing and the matching watch file snippet. Just append the package name to the URL, for example http://pypi.debian.net/pyroute2/, and follow the watchfile link.

Derivatives census update

The Debian derivatives census aims to gather information about derivatives that could be interesting to Debian and to present that data to contributors. Until recently it was previously split into two deployments, one general one on alioth.d.o and the patches generation on snapshot.d.o, which was private. Recently the alioth deployment has been removed and the snapshot.d.o deployment has a web server installed. Patches are being generated daily and are available on deriv.debian.net. Please consider taking a look at available patches when uploading packages. There is also a plan for a patches panel on tracker.debian.org that could link to the derivatives patches. Help with the patches panel, the census and with derivatives efforts in general is needed.

oldoldstable on DDPO

DDPO grew the ability to also show oldoldstable (aka squeeze) versions, mostly for the benefit of those working on squeeze-lts.

To use it, append &version=oldoldstable to your DDPO URL, or set it via the usual display configuration dialog at the bottom of the page, for example:

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=myon@debian.org&version=oldoldstable

The display logic is now generalized so it can also exclude the "older" dists, e.g. &version=testing will just show testing and later. The default is to show oldstable and up.
