Merge lp://staging/~danilo/ubuntu/quantal/command-not-found/python2-package into lp://staging/ubuntu/quantal/command-not-found

+1 looks good for me

Zygmunt, thanks for the review.

I found out that my last minute changes to only reintroduce build-deps removed in r90 have missed on python-distutils-extra which was needed for dh_auto_build.

Re-added that and testing in my PPA.

Thanks Danilo

Note that I won't be able to approve this as I have no per-package upload rights to c-n-f (I should probably get that somehow so that I can maintain this project).

Right, understood (I've noticed the "(Community)" tag in the reviewers column above): I still appreciate the review! :)

Leaving the fact I don't like the idea apart, there are some issues:

- the package name should be python-commandnotfound according to <http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-module_packages.html#s-package_names>, also, the section should be "python";
- the binary package is currently empty (for me);
- finally, please merge two changelog entries and target raring.

Dimtry, thanks for the review.

As for the idea, I followed Barry's guide to introducing Python 3 support in reverse: http://www.wefearchange.org/2012/01/debian-package-for-python-2-and-3.html

Any better suggestions on how to solve this particular problem?

I'll look into the empty binary package issue.

I'll also fix the changelog entry and propose a merge against trunk.

Marking as work in progress based on above comments, move back to needs review once you're done. Thanks.

What do you mean? The empty-binary-package issue should be fixed by adding an .install file.

The particular problem of us needing a Python2 library providing CommandNotFound (since you said you dislike the idea itself). What alternative would you suggest that you feel is better (I am happy to hear it out, since I am far from experienced with packaging)? .install file should be provided, I hope I haven't forgot to bzr add it ;)

I've created a separate branch off the trunk branch and proposed a merge: https://code.launchpad.net/~danilo/ubuntu/raring/command-not-found/python2-package/+merge/149494

I'll mark this one as obsolete.

Can't do it myself.
