A few of the notmuch developers are also Debian developers, and also maintain notmuch in Debian. We find it convenient to have the source for the Debian packaging in the notmuch repos, and maintain it via the notmuch mail based review process. Other linux distros like Arch, Fedora, and OpenSUSE are maintained by people less involved with upstream development, and they maintain the packaging separately. For me, Pypi packages fall into the same category as other binary packages that I don't use. In principle pypi packages could be maintained the same way Debian packages are. That would require someone knowledgable about the notmuch build system, and about pypi. d _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
