  Description     : object-capability-based RPC system for Twisted Python

 Foolscap (also known as "newpb") contains a new RPC system for Twisted Python,
 combining capability-based security, secure references, flexible
 serialization, and technology to mitigate resource-consumption attacks.


 This is for reintroducing the package which now has Python3 support and is
 a dependency for tahoe-lafs.

Hello,

I have fixed the autopkgtest for foolscap. Now the package builds and
passes its autopkgtest on sbuild successfully.

There seem to be stochastic build failures, however. Out of ~8 builds I
performed one failed with non-apparent reason.

One remaining blocker is some files being installed into
/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ while they should instead appear in
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/. And test outputs get installed as well.
I assume it should be OK to remove everything except
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/foolscap/ from the current package. I
will try that.

Hello,

I have removed unneeded files from python3-foolscap binary package.
Furthermore, there was an issue with building package with
git-buildpackage, which I solved by updating the certificates used for
tests.

The package is ready for the upload now. If it is OK, I can upload it
myself.

Hello,

foolscap has been reintroduced into the archive. Closing the bug
manually as -1 was REJECTed by ftpmaster and had to be adjusted and
reuploaded as -2.

Best,
Andrius
