I am currently on packaging trac package from the sid repository to the current version for debian and ubuntu. The sid package is trac-0.11.2.1.
The rule's file contains this line: > python setup.py install \ > --root=$(CURDIR)/debian/trac \ > --single-version-externally-managed > When i packaged this version to ubuntu jaunty which uses python2.6 as default python version the installation prefix changed from /usr to /usr/local for unknown reason. > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/resource.py > to resource.pyc > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/db/pool.py > to pool.pyc > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/db/mysql_backend.py > to mysql_backend.pyc > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/db/schema.py > to schema.pyc > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/db/api.py > to api.pyc > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/db/postgres_backend.py > to postgres_backend.pyc > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/db/sqlite_backend.py > to sqlite_backend.pyc > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/db/util.py > to util.pyc > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/db/__init__.py > to __init__.pyc > byte-compiling > /root/Trac-0.11.4/debian/trac/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/trac/loader.py > to loader.pyc For workaround I set the --prefix argument. What I am wonder about, is it good practice to statically define the prefix in the rules file like this? Are there documented changes in python's package tools pycentral, python-shared for python2.6? Are there alternative solution to this? > python setup.py install \ > --prefix=/usr > --root=$(CURDIR)/debian/trac \ > --single-version-externally-managed > Best Regards, Gunnar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
