Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Barry, IIUC you want the “debian” command to create a debian source package, which can be converted to debian binary package(s), checked and uploaded with standard tools. Perfect.
Andrew, I am uncomfortable with stdeb. (Trying to express respectful constructive critique, not just picking on your project.) The version in Debian testing, 0.5.1-1, still requires setuptools (actually only pkg_resources, which is split into another package in Debian, for space or politic reasons). The py2dsc script seems to be obsoleted by the to-be “debian” command. The pypi-install script seems dangerous to me, because downloading unverified software and putting it into the system seems a rather bad idead (a.k.a. “sudo ./setup.py install considered harmful”). python-debian provides useful support code for generating and reading debian formats. A quick read show the code would benefit from some 2.6 modernizing (i.e. gain in simplicity and readability by using modern idioms and stdlib functions). Would using this package in stdeb / distutils2.command.debian instead of shelling out bring anything? (Sorry about the badly wrapped paragraph I forgot to remove in my previous message. And sorry to write so much words instead of code ;) acute-accent-ly yours ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1054967> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
