[storm] ETA for 0.19?

[Barry Warsaw]

A quick progress report and a few questions...

I struggled a bit with autoppa, but I think I've finally whipped it into
shape.  I noticed that there were no entries in debian/control.autoppa for
Natty or Oneiric.  I added the latter and switch it to use dh_python2.  I
should probably add a Natty PPA as well.  Is there a particular reason why
autoppa isn't set up for Natty, or is it just that no one ever got around to
updating the package?

Only a few of the packages actually build though.  I did get the Oneiric build
to succeed locally, but I had to disable the test suite to do this.  Please
correct me if I'm wrong, but there's a fair bit of manual setup needed for
both PostgreSQL and MySQL to get the test suite to succeed.  I think these
tests should be skipped if the manual setup isn't done.  I've filed bug 867878
about this.

I'm still having some local build failures on other distroversions, and will
continue to suss those out locally before I upload new packages to the PPA.
Or I can just go ahead and do an upstream tarball release to PyPI and
Launchpad and work on the PPA afterward (this actually makes it more
convenient for package building).  If there are no objections and I can't get
all packages built by COB tomorrow, I will probably go ahead and do that.

What else?  I'd like to get 0.19 into Debian too.

Is there an official statement as to what Ubuntu versions will be supported in
the PPA?  From the control.autoppa file, it looks like we intend to build
dapper, hardy, karmic, and lucid.  maverick support seems spotty (the rules
file seems incomplete for maverick).  Do we need to build all the way back to
dapper?  Would it be enough to build just back to the last LTS (i.e. lucid)?
