Hi, I filed an ITP for PythonCard (http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net), and I've made a first pass at packaging it. I built the following binary packages:
libpythoncard-python pythoncard-samples pythoncard-doc Each depends on python (>=2.2), python (<<2.3). The libpythoncard-python package contains the things needed for runtime that are installed to /usr/share/python2.2/site-packages, and the -samples and -docs package contain samples and documentation. I was working off of the way the WxPython package is structured. I've now noticed that this doesn't conform to policy and I'm a little confused about what packages I should provide. Upstream develops against 2.2, but I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't work with 2.3. Should I provide the package python-pythoncard that depends on on python (>=2.2), python (<<2.3), or should I instead provide python2.2-pythoncard that depends on python2.2 and also python2.3-pythoncard that depends on python2.3? What do I do with the samples and the documentation? The documentation seems to be independent of Python version, but the samples really aren't, at least not if I want someone to be able to run them with the provided samples.py script. I had been putting the samples in /usr/share/pythoncard/samples, but I'm not sure whether that makes sense any more. This is getting a bit more complicated than I expected it to be. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks, KEN -- Kenneth J.
