Dear All, I've created the debian package for SIGAR [1] Python binding. I'd like to improve it so it could be added to the Debian official repository. Could you help me?
Our team is being supported by DebianMed [2] to create an offical package of InVesalius [3], a 3D medical imaging software developed using Python. Currently the only dependency of InVesalius that is not available at the Debian official repository is SIGAR. Andreas Tille suggested we posted a message to this mailing list, so we could solve this dependency problem. SIGAR (System Information Gatherer and Reporter) is a cross-platform, cross-language library and command-line tool for accessing operating system and hardware level information and has bindings for Python, Java, Perl and other programming languages. In order to create the SIGAR debian package, I did the folowing: 1. Checked out the source code from SIGAR trunk (the python binding didn't work in the other versions) 2. Created a folder "debian" on the source-code folder 3. And then used the "debuild" command The SIGAR source-code used and the debian folder created are available at [4]. Both i386 and amd64 debian packages are available at InVesalius' dependencies page [5,6] Thanks in advance, Thiago [1] http://support.hyperic.com/display/SIGAR/Home [2] http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/ [3] http://svn.softwarepublico.gov.br/trac/invesalius [4] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/817671/packages/sigar-1.7.0.tar.gz [5] http://svn.softwarepublico.gov.br/trac/invesalius/browser/requirements/invesalius3/ubuntu64 [6] http://svn.softwarepublico.gov.br/trac/invesalius/browser/requirements/invesalius3/ubuntu32
