[09:50] <mapreri> Unit193: it'll be in the next DevNews, there is a paragraph named 'Source packages can include upstream signatures'
[09:54] <mapreri> still only 4 out of 5 news, so it's not yet out.
[09:54] <Unit193> Heh, alright.

[20:54] <teward> stupid question but is there a guide for packaging python packages anywhere?  Have to ask since pymssql is unusable in the repositories because of a freetdx incompatibility
[20:54] <teward> and it looks like this has been in Debian for several years without being addressed (E:Unmaintained?)
[20:57] <rlaager> teward: You may have already seen these, but if not: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ https://wiki.debian.org/Python/LibraryStyleGuide
[20:58] <teward> rlaager: thanks.  Basically, going to try and do the Debain maintainer's job of packaging a newer version, but since hte issue affects Ubuntu too, well...
[20:58] <teward> (unusable means you can't fetch data from the results of a query with pymssql)
[20:58] <teward> may be in Universe, but it affects a lot of things
[20:58] <teward> :/
[20:59] <rlaager> I think I might use that package, actually. I guess I better finish killing off MS SQL in our environment before I upgrade the server with the Python code. :)
[21:00] <teward> rlaager: I opened a dupe of the issue, whoopsies, but https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pymssql/+bug/918896 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pymssql/+bug/918896
[21:00] <teward> oops
[21:00] <teward> and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pymssql/+bug/1589295  <--
[21:00] <teward> rlaager: a nice Google search led to stackexchange, which led to 'Use the updated version" :P
[21:04] <teward> hrm
[21:04] <rlaager> teward: You can click 'Mark as duplicate' on your bug report to mark it as a duplicate of the other, earlier bug report.
[21:04] <teward> rlaager: 'cept the older one doens't have the workaround
[21:04] <teward> but yes i know how to bug triage
[21:05] <teward> i do it frequently for nginx, of which I maintain
[21:05] <teward> CBA to do it right now, because E:TooMuchWork
[21:05] <teward> gotta get other things done, but took a 5 minute break between tasks :P
[21:05] <teward> will do so "soon"  (tm)
[21:23] <teward> hmm, I need an MSSQL server
[21:29] <teward> for testing that package and a patch I think I found...
