Thanks! I am a happy debian user myself!

If there are any other things, please let me know so we can sort things out before the next freeze.

Hi. There was a typo in the word "lenght" reported by Lintian.

I m packaging this to get asammdf in Debian.

versioningit is not available in Debian, but I m already used to versioneer.py that does not work very well when building from .tar.gz so I patched it out

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-isal/-/blob/master/debian/patches/remove-versioningit.patch?ref_type=heads

Maybe there's room in the distribution for a "fake_versioneer.py /fake_versioningit.py" that always read the version at the top of the changelog... someday.

This is the kind of ugly patch that is typically not upstreamable, I just show it to you to show everything is fine.

I disabled fife tests for the initial upload.

The package is now in the NEW queue where it can stays hours/days/weeks (one can beg on IRC if it's urgent)

https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

That leaves plenty of time to try to fix these 5 tests.

export PYTHON_ISAL_LINK_DYNAMIC=1

export PYBUILD_TEST_ARGS=-k 'not test_compress_fast_best_are_exclusive \
                         and not test_compress_infile_outfile \
                         and not test_compress_infile_outfile_default \
                         and not test_decompress_cannot_have_flags_compression \
                         and not test_decompress_infile_outfile_error'

Fixed it jjust now.

Yes it is not ideal when working from no-git sources. For some reason the packaging always works when using CiBuildWheel so I am not that much bothered.

I prefer to use setuptools_scm. That works more intuitively, BUT it always includes the entire ISA-L source in the wheel. Which is a massive waste of space and I cannot turn it off. So I cannot use setuptools_scm for python-isal and python-zlib-ng.
