To do it properly, I think you would need to maintain a database mapping buildout distribution names to Debian binary package names. Zooko wrote something for stdeb that tries to automatically find the dependencies, to some degree of success, using apt-file. The implementation is in the function get_deb_depends_from_setuptools_requires() in http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/blob/master/stdeb/util.py _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
