Hi, starting from Python 2.6, the Debian packages look for modules in a different directory: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages instead of /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages. This is handled transparently by python-central and python-support, but at install time, distutils (the thingy behind “python setup.py”) installs modules in another directory by default, and the packaging has to cope with it.
Therefore, a number of packages have to be fixed before they can work
with python2.6. Practically speaking, this is the only thing that
prevents python2.6 from entering unstable. This is a first attempt at
listing packages needing to be fixed.
There are 1396 source packages using python-central or python-support in
Debian. (The analysis excludes packages not using them since they are
already broken.)
* 505 of these packages do not use distutils and should not be
affected, still shipping files to site-packages/. However,
according to Scott Kimmermann (who handled parts of this
transition in Ubuntu), python-central does not look for modules
in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages, so most modules using it
are broken. If this is the case, python-central needs to be
NMUed to handle such packages.
* 73 packages don’t use the shipped setup.py and use a
Debian-specific installation system (e.g. to install modules in
a private directory).
* 818 packages use distutils/setuptools for installation.
I - CDBS: 310 packages
CDBS needs updating to work with python2.6. A patch was proposed by
Martin Pitt in #537373 and the maintainers have already agreed for a
NMU, so it’s just a matter of uploading it. In the meantime, Piotr
Ożarowski proposed another idea (setting --install-lib instead of
--install-layout) which looks much cleaner, so we’ll probably use that
approach instead. In all cases this will be done soon.
* 269 CDBS packages should not be affected.
* 41 packages fiddle with site-packages. If either Martin’s or
Piotr’s approach is used, they won’t need updating.
II - DH: 143 packages
Debhelper has already been updated so that dh uses --install-layout=deb.
* 141 DH packages should already work.
* 2 packages fiddle with site-packages and need updating.
III - Debhelper: 438 packages
* 52 packages already use --install-layout=deb and don’t play with
site-packages.
* 246 packages don’t, but should work as well provided that we
ensure python-central is fixed.
* 73 packages fiddle with site-packages and need updating.
Overall summary:
* CDBS needs to be updated (should be done in a week at most).
* python-central needs a NMU to
handle /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages as a source directory.
* 75 Python packages need to be updated, the dd-list is attached.
If there are no objections, I will submit a MBF for those 75 packages in
a few days.
Cheers,
