Greetings. Here's my first progress report for the packaging of the CSB Toolbox [1].
1) I've created a git repository for the package, which I named "python-csb" according to the Debian Python Policy. I hope this is correct. 2) I used pbuilder to setup a chroot in my computer. Even after reading the pbuilder User's Manual [2], I'm not 100% sure I understand how to use the chroot. I suppose that will become clear once I start trying to build the package, though. 3) I've followed the first part of the Debian New Maintainer's Guide, played around with a toy example, took a look at the generated files, etc. 4) Following the developer's docs on the CSB project site [3], I checked out the latest version of the project and built it. The build process includes the running of several unit tests. It eventually generates a tar.gz file with a format like "csb-1.1.0.tar.gz", which seems preety close with the desired format for sources according to the guide. _Question here_ (maybe ahead of myself): the building process also builds HTML documentation using python-epidoc. Does this fit into the framework of a Debian package? In any case, I'd appreciate input on how to go on. The Python package building process is probably pretty different from the ones that involve standard GNU building tools and the like, so a bit on guidance on how to proceed would be great.
