I had so much fun with epydoc that I thought I would dive in with another that
I am interested in. See ftp://ftp.druid.net/pub/distrib/py-twisted-pkg.tgz.
I have a few questions;
I used the Python version in the package name. I think that this is correct
because it installs some files into the Python site-packages directory so I
assume that it can be installed against multiple versions. Does that seem
correct to everyone?
I have put all the documents into share/doc/${PYPKGPREFIX}-twisted rather than
trying to move them up between doc and examples. The main reason for that is
that the package installs everything with a HTML index page and I would have
to muck with that to make it work. Anyone see any reason to bother?
It was suggested that I use pkgsrc-wip for these things. I thought that that
was for people without commit access. Did I misunderstand? It sure seems
like a waste of time to import to one tree just so a developer (perhaps even
the same one) can re-import it into the main tree. Either way I would
discuss it before importing it to the tree.
If developers are expected to start packages in pkgsrc-wip then perhaps we can
add something to http://www.netbsd.org/developers/pkgsrc/ explaining that.
Cheers.
