Hi Aryan (2026.01.04_11:15:30_+0000)
I've been working on updating pyrle for a while. Me, plenae and jcfp
are currently working on it but we seem to have hit a roadblock when
it comes to the lintian warning:
W: python3-pyrle: python-module-in-wrong-location
usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/pyrle-0.0.42.dist-info ->
usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyrle-0.0.42.dist-info
As Colin pointed out on IRC, dh_python3 tells you that it's having
trouble, in the build log:
dh_python3 -O--buildsystem=pybuild
W: dh_python3 fs:140: No merge driver for dist-info file top_level.txt
That's your issue. What's going on there?
$ cat debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyrle-0.0.42.dist-info/top_level.txt
build
debian
graphs
pyrle
tests
$ cat debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/pyrle-0.0.42.dist-info/top_level.txt
debian
graphs
pyrle
tests
So, dh_python3 couldn't merge them because they differed and it didn't know how
to handle that.
Why did they differ?
pyproject.toml contains:
[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
where = ["."]
That's very broad, it's trying to say everything it can find in the source
directory is part of the package. This is including the debian directory,
tests, test data, and a temporary build directory. This is all wrong.
I'd suggest patching pyproject.toml to be a little more selective. I think that
file should only contain "pyrle".
Then there's also:
W: dh_python3 fs:143: Paths differ:
debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/f31ba8925e528ce5

You don't want to be shipping .hypothesis. I added a commit to fix this.
