Hello Seyed,

you are sure you've used the correct URLs for referencing one or more
upstream projects?

I can't see that any of the URLs you have given is somehow related to
something similar to pyyaml. Nor your extra information within the bug
report gives more information like where you want to maintain this package.

And, Python source packages shouldn't use python3 as prefix, if needed
then only python as we might need or want to include multiply Python
versions as binary packages.

Sorry.

These packages are already in the debian repo

Hi,

Isn't it already in Debian?

No those are the same.
Forget this ITP.
I closed it.

If you mean that the software you want to package is different, it would
be nice to provide a correct URL for it, as neither of the two URLs you
provided in the ITP are correct.

I recommend that you always search not only by source but also by
package, since you have already opened 2 ITPs on existing packages.

In many cases (especially from python2 to python3) the package name has
changed while the source has remained the same.

For example for this package is already present and you can't add
another package with the same name (even if source name is different):
https://packages.debian.org/sid/python3-yaml

If there were instead cases where the currently used upstream has been
abandoned (need a good search to be sure) and there are forks that have
continued (and need a deep check to be sure that new fork is good) it
would be necessary to open a bug in the existing package to report the
new maintained fork so that the maintainers can consider it.

Please also check all fields are correct before sent the ITP mail, as
both have atleast the URL wrong

And if you (the original poster) mean that you couldn't find
the python3-yaml package, yeah, it's true that neither `apt search pyyaml`
nor `apt search 'https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml'` finds it.
However, in such cases, to make sure I don't package something that is
already in Debian, I also use the `apt-file` tool: I pick a file that
the software installs and then I do e.g.

  apt-file search dist-packages/yaml/resolver.py

Hope that helps!

G'luck,
Peter
