Hello everybody, I'm packaging a daemon that I've developed in python3 and I need to split the core modules in two deb packages, but I don't now how to do that.
One of the module is specific for Raspberry Pi, it adds some functionalities, but the daemon itself doesn't require a Pi hardware and can still do its job without that module even on a Pi. What I want to do is to split the modules in two deb packages, one with all the modules except rpi.py and one with only rpi.py (setting the appropriate dependencies, i.e. python3-gpiozero, etc). How can I do that? I can exclude rpi.py module from main package and create a python3-mypackage.rpi.install file installing rpi.py in /usr/lib/python3/mypackage but I don't think it is the right way of doing that. This is the source folder: mydaemon/ |-- bin/ | `-- mydaemon* | |-- debian/ | |-- changelog | |-- [...] | |-- mydaemon.install | |-- mydaemon.service | |-- python3-mypackage-doc.install | |-- rules* | `-- [...] | |-- MANIFEST.in |-- mypackage/ | |-- module1.py | |-- module2.py | |-- moduleN.py | `-- rpi.py | `-- setup.py The setup.py file is almost this: > setup(name='mydaemon', > packages=['mypackage'], > scripts=['bin/mydaemon'], > install_requires=['python-daemon','jsonschema']) The MANIFEST.in > include setup.py > include MANIFEST.in > recursive-include mypackage *.py > include bin/mydaemon The debian/rules file contains: > dh $@ --with python3,systemd --buildsystem=pybuild Thanks, bye Simone
