Release v0.7

[quozl]

• try using a later autobahn, per fe928e7,
• tag v0.5,
• release to pypi.python.org, (this may require obtaining access as a new maintainer),
• report bug to bugs.debian.org advising of new upstream release and new maintainer,(debian package has a valid watch file)
• report same to fedora.

There's a dependency on autobahn in the source code, you can find it with git grep. No need to have asked me about it.

gwebsockets can be tested by installing on a system that runs Sugar, then start one of the Sugar activities written in JavaScript. I think it is used for access to Journal. Read the source code for one of the activities, and sugar-activity-web, and search for the SUGAR_APISOCKET_* environment variables.

You really have to work these things out yourself, because (a) I don't know much about it, and (b) nobody else seems to know or is too busy to answer. We lost a key developer suddenly. Read all the source code.

I don't have access to pypi.python.org for the gwebsockets project, sorry. As an organisation, we may not have access. The project was created by Daniel Narvaez (@dnarvaez), and he did not leave us any access. I've checked a copy of his disabled account on sunjammer.sugarlabs.org but I've not been able ot identify anything needed.

You may need to help us engage the PyPI process.

Also, please check to see if the other project gwebsocket is suitable as a replacement. It has a later release date, but has had no release since 2016.

I found out that the Python Packaging Authority have a mailing list and an IRC channel.
Should I draft an email from Sugarlabs, get it reviewed through our mailing list and then send it to their mailing list?

[quozl]

No. PEP 541 is clear. It also says six weeks are needed to prove failure of reachability. There are other conditions there. Have something to release before starting the process.

I've tagged v0.5 and made a Python 3 gwebsockets package to enable wider testing of sugarlabs/sugar#844.

Thanks.

@quozl should I write access requesting e-mail to PPA now?

[quozl]

No, let me do that. You may raise a bug with Debian to have it packaged;

• priority wishlist,
• package gwebsockets from tag v0.5 here,
• change debian/watch to this repository.

For your interest, the method of making the package was;

• python setup.py sdist ,
• sudo apt source python-gwebsockets ,
• unpack the dist/gwebsockets-0.5.tar.gz file,
• rename the gwebsockets-0.5 directory to python3-gwebsockets-0.5+git20190730,
• rename the dist/gwebsockets-0.5.tar.gz file to python3-gwebsockets_0.5+git20190730.orig.tar.gz,
• copy the debian directory from python-gwebsockets to python3-gwebsockets-0.5+git20190730,
• for the files in the debian directory change the package name and version number in changelog, and use Python 3 in control and rules,
• build the package with debuild ,
• test install the package on a virtual machine using dpkg -i *deb,
• test import on the virtual machine,
• upload the package with dcmd rsync *changes ...

Response to deleted comment from @Aniket21mathur,

No response on pypa/warehouse#6309 yet

I'll worry after six weeks.

[quozl]

I'm owner on PyPi now.

As release 0.7 is done, is this focused on v0.8?

[quozl]

Thanks for asking. Release 0.7 is in progress. While we have merged commits, we don't yet have;

• a release git tag,
• upload to download.sugarlabs.org,
• upload to pypi.org (which may require changes and a 0.8 release),

For your interest, I also have a custom Debian packaging of the 0.7 release built for Ubuntu 20.04 as package name python3-gwebsockets, and have been building other custom packages of Sugar and activities in order to test gwebsockets properly.
