Hi,
I have been maintaining a package used by users of our gpib adapters and
seems the python bindings for the libgpib0 C library stopped working at
some point during the bookworm updates.
Here is how the rules file currently looks:
https://github.com/lightside-instruments/gpib-debian/blob/debian/4.3.6-lsi4/debian/rules
The relevant section is:
...
install:
...
python$$pyvers setup.py install --prefix=/usr
--root=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp --install-layout=deb
...
This ends up not working correctly. I also tried creating a pybuild
based package of only the python bindings to the library which worked.
Here is how the layout differs.
Not working:
dpkg -c python3-gpib_4.3.6-lsi4_armhf.deb
...
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2156 2024-07-23 10:50
./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gpib-1.0-py3.11-linux-armv6l.egg/Gpib.py
Working(pybuild):
dpkg -c gpib/linux-gpib-user/language/python3-gpib_1.0-0_armhf.deb
...
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2156 2022-11-30 16:20
./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Gpib.py
I wonder if the original command line in debian/rules can be changed so
that it still works or is the only way to go forward is a separate
package building only the python package with pybuild?
