Our page is here: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam and in particular I wrote this howto: http://wiki.debian.org/PAPT_Howto E.g. the section Building the package. Btw, feel free to update the PythonModulesTeam page above with instructions how to build the package, that would be really useful. >> Since python-sphinx 0.5 is in unstable now, do you think we should >> build with the docs as they are in the debian packaging svn?

Ok, so should I leave the current tarball, as you can see, I am using svn -r6221: get-orig-source: wget http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/numpy/numpy-1.2.1.tar.gz; \ tar xzf numpy-1.2.1.tar.gz; \ cd numpy-1.2.1; \ svn export -r6221 http://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/trunk/doc; \ cd ..; \ tar czf python-numpy_1.2.1.ds.orig.tar.gz numpy-1.2.1; \ rm -rf numpy-1.2.1 numpy-1.2.1.tar.gz > >> Thanks for the tip --- I think there was some reason for this >> conflict, but I can't remember now.
