Hi,
I am re-working my first Debian package, console-log, which I wrote back
two decades ago. The rewrite is going to be in python, and I have never
packaged python code before. The code is not yet in git.
What I have:
.
├── debian
│ ├── changelog
│ ├── control
│ ├── copyright
│ ├── rules
│ └── source
│ └── format
├── pyproject.toml
└── src
├── console_log
│ ├── base.py
│ ├── config.py
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── pagers
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── less.py
├── console-log.generator
└── do_console_log
console-log.generator will go to
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators; do_console_log ends up in
/usr/share/console-log. Both programs are not supposed to be called from
a user. do_console_log imports from console-log/pagers. There will be
other modules at the side of less.py. I am moving both from
debian/console-log.install.
Google tells me that I am supposed to use dh-python and pyproject. Here
is what I coughed up:
[206/6622]mh@swivel:~/packages/console-log/console-log (wip-systemd *+%) $ cat
debian/rules
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --with python3 --buildsystem=pybuild
[207/6622]mh@swivel:~/packages/console-log/console-log (wip-systemd *+%) $ cat
pyproject.toml
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=61.0", "wheel"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
[project]
name = "console-log"
version = "2.0"
description = "Console Log - Displays Logs on Virtual Consoles"
authors = [
{ name = "Marc Haber", email = "[email protected]" }
]
license = "GPL-2.0"
requires-python = ">=3.7"
dependencies = [
]
[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
where = ["src"]
[208/6623]mh@swivel:~/packages/console-log/console-log (wip-systemd *+%) $
However, building this does not seem to give the desired results:
(1)
My package contains /usr/lib/python3/console_log-2.0.dist-info, and
lintian doesn't like that. How can I preent that from being installed?
(2)
Additionally, the package doesn't build twice in a row since .pybuild
and build directories are generated and not cleaned up on package clean.
Am I supposed to clean those two directories up in dh_override_auto_clean?
(3)
Is it okay to move the two binaries from src/ to the respective
directories in the package via debian/console-log.install or, how would I
tell setuptools to install those files to their targets?
Greetings
Marc
