I'm not very keen on python so I really have no idea about what packaging python libraries require (it is actually confusing the fact that there are three debhelpers for it: dh_python, dh_pysupport and dh_pycentral). I took a quick look at your package and here are some notes: * Doesn't seem to require python-all-dev: ------------ $ dpkg-buildpackage dpkg-buildpackage: source package wxglade dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.5-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Georges Khaznadar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386 dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: python-all-dev (>= 2.3.5-11) dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting. dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.) $ dpkg-buildpackage -d dpkg-buildpackage: source package wxglade dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.5-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Georges Khaznadar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386 ... warning, `debian/python-wxglade/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined field `Python-Version' dpkg-deb: building package `python-wxglade' in `../python-wxglade_0.5-1_all.deb'. dpkg-deb: ignoring 1 warnings about the control file(s) signfile wxglade_0.5-1.dsc gpg: skipped "Georges Khaznadar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>": secret key not available gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: secret key not available dpkg-genchanges >../wxglade_0.5-1_i386.changes dpkg-genchanges: including full source code in upload dpkg-buildpackage: full upload (original source is included) dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Failed to sign .dsc and .changes file -------- * dh_python isn't used: ------ ... dh_fixperms dh_pycentral dh_python dh_python: Doing nothing since dh_pycompat exists; dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral should do the work. You can remove dh_python from your rules file. dh_installdeb ... ------ * .orig contains a debian/ directory, please contact upstream and tell them ship the man page as upstream and not ship the debian directory in their tarballs (it is not recommended and it _IS_ the real source of lintian's warning: debian/files is in upstream's tarball). * .orig.tar.gz and upstream's .tar.gz differ (and they shouldn't): $ md5sum *0.5*.tar.gz 345d735076c6dda6a86db604612c6f39 wxglade_0.5.orig.tar.gz 705855ef251053bd6b032bc5667cea19 wxGlade-0.5.tar.gz * there's a new upstream version I personally recommend you to either contact upstream so they don't ship debian/ and make a new package from scratch (preserving the changelog file). If you have any doubt you can always ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] or even ask your co-maintainer (he's a DD anyway). > > Best regards, Georges. > > > Raphael Geissert a écrit : > > Package: wxglade > > Severity: minor > > > > Hello, > > > > While checking the list generated by lintian about the > > debian-files-list-in-source error[1] I've noticed wxglade is listed. > > > > Quoting the same page: "Leaving debian/files causes problems for the > > autobuilders, since that file will likely include the list of .deb > > files for another architecture, which will cause dpkg-buildpackage > > run by the buildd to fail. > > > > The clean rule for the package should remove this file." > > > > [1] > > http://lintian.debian.org/reports/Tdebian-files-list-in-source.html > > > > Kind regards, Raphael Geissert > > -- > > Atomo64 - Raphael > > > > Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments. > > See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html > > > > > > > > -- > Georges KHAZNADAR et Jocelyne FOURNIER > 22 rue des mouettes, 59240 Dunkerque France. > Téléphone +33 (0)3 28 29 17 70 > > Sincerely, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
