| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Which of the three attached files is the right one (19633, 19634, or 19635)? Unless they are all needed, we should delete the extra copies. I recommend to apply PEP 2 to this patch: A library PEP is needed (which could be quite short), documentation, perhaps test cases. Most importantly, there must be an identified maintainer of these modules. Are you willing to act as the maintainer? |

| Logged In: YES user_id=12810 Any of the three (they're all the same). SourceForge hiccuped during the upload, and I don't have permission to delete the duplicates. I don't exactly understand what you mean by applying PEP 2. I uploaded this per Marc Lemburg's request for the latest versions of patches 41522[6-8]. He's acting as as the integrator in this case (see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2001-December/002659.html). I let him know about the duplicate uploads, so hopefully he'll correct it. If you can and want, feel free to delete the 2 of your choice. I agree they need to be documented. As soon as I can, I'll submit changes to the Distutils documentation. Finally, yes, I'll act as maintainer. I'm on the Distutils-sig and as soon as some other poor soul who has to deal with Solaris or HP-UX tries them, I'm there to work out issues. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 You volunteering as the maintainer is part of the prerequisites of accepting new modules, when following PEP 2, see http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0002.html It says: "developers ... will first form a group of maintainers. Then, this group shall produce a PEP called a library PEP." So existance of a PEP describing these library extensions would be a prerequisite for accepting them. If MAL wants to waive this requirement, it would be fine with me. However, such a PEP could also share text with the documentation, so it might not be wasted effort. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=12810 OK, the PEP seems to me to mean most of this is done. These additions are not library modules, they are Distutils "commands". So the way i read it, the Distutils-SIG (where I've been hanging around for some time) are the Maintainers. The documentation will be 2 new chapters for the Distutils manual "Creating Solaris packages" and "Creating HP-UX packages" each looking a whole lot like "Creating RPM packages". Does that clarify anything, or am I still missing a clue? p.s. Thanks for cleaning up the extra uploads! |

| Logged In: YES user_id=38388 Mark, could you reupload the ZIP file ? I cannot download it from the SF page (the file is mostly empty). Also, is the documentation already included in the ZIP file ? If not, it would be nice if you could add them as well. I don't require a special PEP for these changes, BTW, but I do require you to maintain them. Thanks. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=38388 I will try to checkin your latest version into CVS today. The PSF will still require you to sign a contributor agreement for these addition, though, after these have been through the legal review phase. http://www.python.org/psf/psf-contributor-agreement.html Is that acceptable ? Note: I'm still awaiting the documentation for these files. Thanks. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=38388 Mark, I checked in your code, but still need the documentation to not get beaten over the head by Fred ;-) TIA. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Given the recent discussion, I think we consider this patch withdrawn for the moment. If there is any change to its status, please submit a new patch. |
