Package: python-docutils Architecture: all Depends: python2.3-docutils | python2.2-docutils Description: Utilities for the documentation of Python modules The purpose of the Docutils project is to create a set of tools for processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML, XML, and TeX. . The package includes the reStructuredText parser and the Python Docstring Processing System project. Package: python2.3-docutils Architecture: all Depends: python2.3, python-docutils, python-roman Description: Dependency package for python-docutils with Python 2.3 This package is a dependency package. It represents the requirements of the python-docutils package when used with Python 2.3. Package: python2.2-docutils Architecture: all Depends: python2.2, python-docutils, python2.2-xmlbase, python-roman, python-textwrap Description: Dependency package for python-docutils with Python 2.2 This package is a dependency package. It represents the requirements of the python-docutils package when used with Python 2.2. If there's no objection, the next version will look like this. (Due out shortly, as I need to package upstream's 0.3 as well as fix a packaging bug.) > Package: python-xmlbase > Depends: python (<<2.3) | python2.2 | python2.1 | python2.0 | python1.6 > | python1.5 > Provides: python2.2-xmlbase, python2.1-xmlbase, python2.0-xmlbase, > python1.6-xmlbase, python1.5-xmlbase > Duh? xmlbase doesn't seem to be supported for Python < 2.1. -- Matthias Urlichs | {M:U} IT Design @ m-u-it.de | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Disclaimer: The quote was selected randomly.
