Description Homme Zwaagstra 2005-07-06 06:31:40 UTC

There is no ebuild for pydb.

Pydb is a command-line debugger for Python. It is based on the standard Python
debugger pdb, but has a number of added features. Particularly, it is suitable
for use with DDD, a graphical debugger front end.

Hi

Is this product worth to put it to portage? I looked at home page of this 
product:
   http://www.fnal.gov/docs/products/pydb/
It does not seems to even contain the link to source codes (link is broken). Of 
course it is possible to take source package from Debian and redestribute it, 
but someone should became new package maintainer...

good point. i suppose there isn't much worth spending time maintaining it if
upstream is inactive.

Guys, pydb is being maintained by the Debian guys now.  The homepage is at
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/pydb.html (as mentioned in the URL
above).  It is updated rarely (last time being March 2005), but it is maintained.
