lengau / debalot Goto Github PK

The tests I wrote for build-depends are woefully incomplete and need improvement.

We should be able to run 'apt-get source hello' and then immediately import the resulting hello package.
The same goes for hello-debhelper.

In order to be able to work with source packages, we need to be able to import changelogs.

This file should be the ugliest, most complicated VALID control file we can create, and debalot should be able to parse it.

Reasoning:

I'd prefer this to be in python 3, but the decision to use protobufs has limited me to python 2. As soon as protobufs are available for python 3, I'd like to port the project.

Ongoing Progress:

All internal code should be capable of running in python3, and internally we should use all relevant future statements. All features that are mandatory python 3.0 MUST be used anywhere relevant.
Any additional optional features must be used in any new files, and should be moved into old files as soon as possible.

Progress so far:

I've placed the following at the top of all python source files except for generated ones:

from __future__ import absolute_import
from __future__ import division
from __future__ import print_function
from __future__ import unicode_literals

My next commit will include a version of the files that pass all current tests.

Next steps:

All new source files must contain the aforementioned __future__ imports and be written in a manner friendly to python 3.

The test I've created for parsing standards versions (lib/debian_package/test.py's TestSourcePackageControlImport.test_parse_standards_version) doesn't cover all cases. This should be fleshed out a little bit to cover the fact that standards versions can be either 3 or 4 dots long.

We should be able to write a control file for a source package.
