Thats great news, and yes I agree with the solution completely. I had actually already begun porting the package to dh_python2 in the bzr branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/gearman-interface/debian-packaging > > I've attached the patch that I used for testing gearman.libgearman using > dh_python.

However, its not clear to me the reason for these two additions to debian/rules: rm -rf python3/build/ + rm -rf python3/gearman/_libgearman*so + rm -rf python3/gearman/__pycache__ [ ! -f python/libgearman.c.orig ] || mv -f python/libgearman.c.orig python/libgearman.c I was hoping you could explain those. Once I can explain what that is in debian/changelog, I'll get it uploaded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
