Details can be found in our PDF file.

awx is now at version 13.

I have prepared a simple package that downloads dependencies
using pip and npm - now the huge work is going to package
all deps separately or bundle them:

https://salsa.debian.org/kapouer/awx

awx is now at version 15.0.1.

I'm now building a non-dfsg, but nicely working, awx debian package.
The source is as above and the repo is
deb https://people.debian.org/~kapouer/apt/awx buster contrib

This repo also brings a much needed dh-virtualenv 1.2 backport for buster,
needed to build the debian package.
A nodejs 12 version is also needed for the build: instructions are given
in debian/README.source.

Hi,

I've been keeping improving awx 15 for debian packaging on bullseye.

what has been done:
- use of multiple upstream tarballs for packaging non-available software,
  for now into two categories (some python modules, and a big node_modules
  to overcome missing debian builddeps in bullseye).
- use of py3dist-overrides to let dh_python3 figure out proper debian deps
- split into two packages awx/awx-ui, fix several installation path issues
- autopkgtest pass ! that one took me some time...

what's the plan for bookworm:
- upgrade to latest awx version
- add some important and missing python modules, keep the other ones as upstream tarballs,
- improve uscan to support pypi modules
- build using amap node modules available in debian,
  and replace the "big bundle" tarball with independent upstream tarballs as needed,
- add some important and missing node modules (for example awx 15 is using html-webpack-plugin,
  which is an important piece of software for web apps)
- package receptor (a go binary, somewhat easy to package, needed to control ansible execution env)
- ensure debian/copyright is correct

and so on.

I can't do all of this alone: help is needed for
- python modules
- uscan support of python multiple tarballs
- go modules (receptor)
- node modules (I can do some but there are so many of them)

Cheers,
Jérémy

Update of current packaging work:

- updated to version 21.x for bookworm
  Version 21 runs ansible playbooks in podman containers.
- all python modules are either picked by dh_python3 or independently added
  as additional upstream tarballs (see watch, gbp.conf, py3dist-overrides)
- See also [receptor ITP](https://bugs.debian.org/1027779)

Python dependencies that have been bundled (using M.U.T.) should
be packaged independently.

There is still a fat bundle of node_modules to be dealt with.
