Subject: RFP: sigal -- Simple Static Gallery Generator

Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2017 17:54:30 -0400

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : sigal
  Version         : 1.3.0
  Upstream Author : Simon Conseil <contact@saimon.org>
* URL             : http://sigal.saimon.org/
* License         : Expat
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Simple Static Gallery Generator

Sigal is yet another simple static gallery generator. It's written in
Python and it allows to build a static gallery of images with the
following features:

 * Process directories recursively.
 * Generate HTML pages using jinja2 templates.
 * Relative links for a portable output.
 * Support themes, videos, EXIF tags, zip download.
 * Parallel processing.
 * MIT licensed.

The idea behind Sigal is to ease the use of the javascript libraries
like galleria. These libraries do a great job to display the images,
Sigal does what is missing: resize images, create thumbnails, generate
HTML pages.

==

I am currently using Photofloat for my gallery, but I am thinking of
switching. The upstream isn't very collaborative and I couldn't get
our patches merged. Plus, the design of photofloat is an odd patchwork
of various tools, whereas Sigal is a more unified Python program, with
templating and so on. All dependencies are available in Debian.

I'd be happy to comaintain it with others or maintain this under the
Python team(s). At this point, this is a RFP because I'm not using
Sigal yet, but once I start using it more regularly, I may end up
packaging it myself, at which point I will retitle this to an ITP.

Details on the dependencies...

Depends:

 * python3-markdown
 * python3-blinker
 * python3-click
 * python3-jinja2
 * python3-pilkit
 * python3-pillow

Recommends:

 * python3-feedgenerator (for RSS feed plugin)
 * cssmin (or python3-cssmin?, to compress the CSS files in themes)
 * python3-boto (to upload on s3)
 * ffmpeg (for video conversion)

We may also want to ship a sigal-doc package.

Otherwise, it works neatly on stretch, when installed with pip3, in my
tests.

Another issue I found: the pip package ships a copy of jquery and
jquery-colorbox (which are in debian) and a bunch more javascript
libraries: galleria, photoswipe, jquery-touchSwipe and leaflet (which
are not). Even worse, one theme ships with jquery 1.11.1 while the other
ships with 2.2.1. The jquery version shipped with Debian stretch is
version 3.1.1-2, for the record.

All of that JS is of course minified as well, so copies of those libs
will need to be included somehow:

https://github.com/jquery/jquery/archive/2.2.1.tar.gz
https://github.com/jquery/jquery/archive/1.11.1.tar.gz
https://github.com/jackmoore/colorbox/archive/1.6.4.tar.gz
https://github.com/worseisbetter/galleria/archive/1.4.2.tar.gz
https://github.com/dimsemenov/PhotoSwipe/archive/v4.1.1.tar.gz
https://github.com/mattbryson/TouchSwipe-Jquery-Plugin/archive/1.6.15.tar.gz
https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/archive/v0.7.3.tar.gz

Note that *all* of those (except colorbox) are out of date, for what
that's worth.

I'm not sure this can be resolved cleanly without duplicating code
copies... I sent this upstream to see what can be done:

In case that wasn't clear: all those are present in Debian, although
pillow is packaged as python3-pil.

This was fixed upstream, see this comment for details:

That list is now:

 * galleria-1.5.7 (= latest: https://github.com/worseisbetter/galleria/releases)
   * jquery-3.3.1 (= latest: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/releases)
   * leaflet-0.7.3 (< 1.3.1: https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/releases)
 * colorbox-1.6.4 (= latest: https://github.com/jackmoore/colorbox/releases)
   * jquery-2.2.1 (< 2.2.4: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/releases)
   * touchSwipe-1.6.18 (= latest: https://github.com/mattbryson/TouchSwipe-Jquery-Plugin/releases)
 * photoswipe 4.1.2 (= latest: https://github.com/dimsemenov/PhotoSwipe/releases)

This issue remains, actually, because software like galleria and
colorbox do not use the latest upstream versions and have conflicting
versions with each other. But that's a packaging issue with those
javascript libraries, not with Sigal itself.

I'll open WNPP bugs for those three dependencies under the javascript
team umbrella and we'll see where that goes.

Status update. I worked on this again, and pushed the results to salsa,
which I seem to have forgotten to mention here:

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/sigal/

I had to change the boto dep to boto3, since the former was removed from
Debian.

colorbox is now in debian! for now I vendor everything because I haven't
figured out how to do the symlink dance. pollo showed me how it's done
in supysonic, so that's good inspiration. he cleans the tarball by
stripping the vendored files..

But even with the vendored files, build is failing because pybuild is
trying to run the tests in its special way, and failing to copy the
themes over. I tried to patch this to allow overriding the theme path
through the environment, but so far not great.

once that's fixed, next step is to unvendor colorbox, and possibly
package the other javascript libs.

Seems like i am, as usual, taking the wrong approach. pybuild wizards
use before/after hooks:

Also, the "basename always used" is considered a bug, see
