I can see stdeb mentions logilab-devtools in its background section. Thank you :) logilab-devtools_ provides a command named lgp that uses metadata stored in __pkginfo__.py to make (much) easier the job of the Debian Developer packaging python programs. Once the thing is set up, we usually type: lgp build -d lenny,squeeze,sid,hardy,jaunty to get packages for all these distributions. For a description of the __pkginfo__ format, see pkginfo_variables_ As you surely know, packaging is a hot topic in the Python community at the moment. In case this did not appear on your radars yet, here are 3 PEPs and a couple blog entries: PEP-345_ Metadata for Python Software Packages 1.2 PEP-386_ Changing the version comparison module in Distutils PEP-376_ Changing the .egg-info structure `Words on distribute`_ by Tarke Ziade `The Configuration Management Problem`_ by myself <shameless plug!> Hope this helps converging towards efficient packaging for all, references: .. _logilab-devtools: http://www.logilab.org/project/logilab-devtools .. _pkginfo_variables: http://hg.logilab.org/logilab/devtools/file/314b315d9bba/doc/pkginfo_variables.txt .. _PEP-345: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0345/ .. _PEP-386: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0386/ .. _PEP-376: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0376/ .. _`Words on distribute`: http://tarekziade.wordpress.com/2009/07/24/words-on-distribute-distutils-pep-376-pep-386-pep-345/ .. _`The Configuration Management Problem`: http://www.logilab.org/blogentry/9860 -- Nicolas Chauvat logilab.fr - services en informatique scientifique et gestion de connaissances -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
