Hi,
I'm a user of nssbackup and noticed today that the package has been out-of-date for a while. A comment was posted to the maintainer on Feb 7 and the package was flagged out of date on Feb 21, but it seems that no action has been taken since.
I'd be happy to maintain it if someone can offer a little help with building the new version. I've tried building both the most recent 0.2 release and the new 0.3.1 release, and neither currently work. Both give the same error message:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 3, in <module> from setuptools import setup, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools
I've seen that several packages have had similar errors fixed by installing the python2-distribute package, but I have this installed already.
Thanks for your help,
Simon
The name doesn't lie. Not. So. Simple. This build-sys is utterly insane. Upstream has done an amazing job of stopping packagers at every turn if you're not a debian distro. It's really more than just changing setup.py to use python2, it's a whole host of removing the crazy. I've no idea if this actually works, but it builds without errors: http://pkgbuild.com/~dreisner/nssbackup-0.3.1-1.src.tar.gz dave
