Tarek Ziadé added the comment: Please don't. I've closed this bug because the bdist_deb command is currently managed by the stdeb project and it's fine like htis. Distutils2 will not have specialized linux bdist_* command like this one, because it is best to keep it in a separate project that

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: Éric, sorry about missing that accent. /me needs a bigger font. :) RE: python-debian modernization. We'd have to check with the authors to see what version of Python they need to remain compatible with. If it's 2.6, then I'm all for modernizing. I'm not

Éric Araujo 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 cr

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: Eric, you're right, "native" isn't exactly what I was getting at. I want the debian/ directory created right next to the setup.py, as I've described in some follow ups. As far as what you see in setupdebian, this is just preliminary experiments using test-

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: Manual moving/copying is what I want to avoid. I'd be totally happy with not reinventing the wheel if you think this would be easy to add to stdeb! Specifically: just create debian/ in place and do not build package. I have a few other minor suggestions, t

[issue1054967] bdist_deb - Debian packager

Andrew Straw added the comment: I see. So is copying the debian/ directory into its desired location a possibility for you, either manually or via a new distutils commands that shares 99% of its code with sdist_dsc? It doesn't seem like enough of a difference to start a new project.

[issue1054967] bdist_deb - Debian packager

Andrew Straw added the comment: Barry, I'm sorry I still don't understand what you think is the essential distinction. A debian source package (.dsc, .orig.tar.gz, and .diff.gz files) is simply made from a (patched) source directory, including the debian/ directory, and an upstream tarball. T

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: Hi Andrew, Yes, I've played with sdist_dsc, and it's nice in that it takes a non-Debianized source tree and turns it into a source package that can be uploaded. What I'm looking for is something that can take a non-Debianized source tree and turn it into a

[issue1054967] bdist_deb - Debian packager

Andrew Straw added the comment: Barry, stdeb does much of what you're describing. (Try the "python setup.py sdist_dsc" command.) I'm not particularly pleased with the stdeb codebase as it stands, but it does work reasonably well, and I'd like to see progress in this domain, but I'm afraid I

[issue1054967] bdist_deb - Debian packager

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: I'm not so sure about sdist_debian for the command I'm thinking about because it doesn't actually build a distribution. It just creates a 'debian' directory so I think I like just 'debian' as the name of the command. But thanks for the feedback; time to wr

Éric Araujo added the comment: Hello Thanks for clarifying your point. Note that I had quickly tested dh_make in a near-empty directory before posting, and the only question I got asked was the type of the package (library, many libraries, program, etc). But I’ve just realized that I have two

[issue1054967] bdist_deb - Debian packager

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: There are really two aspects of this patch. At the moment, I'm less interested in bdist_deb than I am in the 'debianize' (i.e. dh_make) functionality. I think 'python setup.py debianize' (or whatever) would be a nice way to jump start a debian/ directory f

Éric Araujo added the comment: Hello There has been a number of discussions about bdist_deb, and some code too. I don’t have links handy, unfortunately, but I remember a conclusion that was: Don’t. Debian packages are best made by Debian tools, which go to great lengths to comply with Debi

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: astraw: I've been playing with stdeb. I think it's a nice implementation of bdist_deb, but it doesn't seem to include the dh_make/debianize functionality of this patch. Is that the case or have I missed something? -- nosy: +barry _
