Can we have it yesterday please :-) I had a go at making Extras-compatible versions of these (as you'll know from bugzilla) and there are a few tweaks needed here and there, such as doing proper directory ownership, ghosting of .pyo files, dependency package name changes (e.g. SOAPpy instead of python-soappy), removal of shellbangs from python files to shut rpmlint up etc. > I guess the only real issue here is the following - how should I > proceed ?

Well the app has previously been approved but the packaging is now sufficiently different that I think it would be worth re-reviewing. Especially since most of the packages now have separate upstream tarballs, get released at different times etc., and so are really separate new packages. There is a slight chicken-and-egg issue in that all of the packages would need to be released together in order to provide a clean update route from 1.3, but most of the packages have a build dependency on python-twisted-core. So whoever was reviewing them all would have to maintain a local repo if they were to test them using mock. There's also an issue in that there's a new build dep for the main package of python-zope-interface, so that will need to go in first.
