Package: python-setuptools
Version: 20.1.1-1
Severity: important
It seems that, despite the docs clearly indicating that this should work:
https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-additional-files
The syntax:
data_files=[('bitmaps', ['bm/b1.gif', 'bm/b2.gif'])],
results in b1.gif and b2.gif being silently ignored whereas
data_files=[('config', ['cfg/data.cfg'])],
works.
This was seen with lava-server and lava-dispatcher. lava-server has the more
complex
data_files listing:
https://git.linaro.org/lava/lava-server.git/blob/HEAD:/setup.py
data_files=[
('/etc/lava-server',
['etc/settings.conf',
'etc/uwsgi.ini',
'etc/debug.wsgi',
'etc/lava-server.wsgi',
'etc/uwsgi.reload',
'etc/env.yaml']),
('/etc/apache2/sites-available',
['etc/lava-server.conf']),
These files suddenly went missing from the package (and are missing in 2016.2),
necessitating these changes in the packaging:
https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-server/commit/e9549b77efc8891946149c43cdc544ce94845017
https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-server/commit/dc6acf7991353fa54ec75dabedd9d6a08de6cdf1
https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-server/commit/fc5398d03e4d6333301b4d39402bd45aa2f2fb83
Yet, lava-dispatcher has this block in setup.py:
data_files=[
('/usr/share/lava-dispatcher/',
['etc/tftpd-hpa']),
('/etc/exports.d',
['etc/lava-dispatcher-nfs.exports']),
('/etc/modprobe.d',
['etc/lava-options.conf']),
('/etc/modules-load.d/',
['etc/lava-modules.conf']),
('/etc/init.d/',
['etc/lava-slave.init']),
... and these files were all preserved in the package and exist currently:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/lava-dispatcher/filelist
despite no such changes being required in the .install file (no changes in 2
years):
https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-dispatcher/blob/master/debian/lava-dispatcher.install
In each case, the rule to install the data_files into the appropriate locations
is:
python setup.py install --root=$(CURDIR)/debian/lava-dispatcher/
--install-layout=deb
(s/lava-dispatcher/lava-server/ for the lava-server package.)
