Upstream does not even provide a way to unpack bundle bzip2 archive, that's another weak point of it. It creates a .waf-version-something directory in your root folder (e.g, jack-audio-connection-kit has .waf-1.5.0-8e39a4c1c16303c1e8f010bf330305f6, as you can also see in http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/jack-audio-connection-kit.git;a=tree) There you will wind wafadmin directory (which has .py files waf relies on to run) and t.bz2 (which ships some environment black magic). > Would you perhaps happen to know of an elegant approach?

No, it's waf design fault. Elegant approach is providing a system-wide installation package, but upstream doesn't like it and blames us instead for his bugs. That's crazy! :) You could try this approach if you feel so (I could provide a patch): * run ./waf --version (to create .waf-version-something dir) * move .waf-version-something/wafadmin to $(CURDIR) * remove .waf-version-something * do some sed to remove bundle bzip2 archive from waf, and store the remaining bits to waf-light script * patch waf-light to understand wafadmin directory in $(CURDIR) Please let me know, Thanks! -- .''`. : :' : Luca Falavigna <dktrkr...@debian.org> `. `' `-
