clarify changes required to dnspython library

[anarcat]

Hi!

I am looking at packaging this for Debian and since the DNSpython library is already packaged in Debian, it is unclear how I will need to proceed.

What exactly are the changes required? Looking at the submodule, i see the following three commits:

• farrokhi/dnspython@35791e1
• farrokhi/dnspython@4838bae
• farrokhi/dnspython@bc7445d

... but those seem to be based on the upstream python3 branch, which doesn't seem to be merged with a release upstream.

Is that accurate?

Would it be possible to make a pull request that would regularize the situation? :)

Thanks!

I created a pull request and awaiting for the merge.

Author was not interested to accept the pull request: rthalley/dnspython#163

i think i was able to somewhat change his mind - but now it requires more changes to dnsdiag, i think. is that something for which i should open a feature request or something?

thanks for following up!

I will make the changes based on the same ticket.

Awesome, thanks!

@anarcat updated on dev branch. I am waiting for dnspython maintainer to upload new package to pypi so that I can merge with master.

Hi, I currently have the ITP bug for dnsdiag in Debian- just waiting for this to be resolved before I proceed.

I am waiting for dnspython maintainer to upload latest version to pypi. I queried them and haven't receive a response yet.

@anarcat dnspython people updated their package on pypi with all the changes we needed. So I removed the local modified version of dnspython and now we depend on official dnspython from pypi. I pushed the changes and I believe you can package it for debian now.

@farrokhi awesome, thanks! turns out that @ana-cc has taken over my "RFP" (Request For Package) and turned it into an "ITP" (Intend To Package) which is great news: someone else than me will take care of this. :)

The ITP is here, if anyone wants to follow that progress, and I will notify that issue that this is fixed.
