OK, if you're sure... :) I'd suggest attempting to add a "bdist_deb" command to stdeb's stdeb/command/ directory for use with distutils. Then register it with entry_points in the setup.py file. Note that you wouldn't want bdist_deb to inherit the binary generation stuff from bdist_dumb or friends -- you'd specifically want to call out the the appropriate debian command (dpkg-buildpackage). I'd be happy to include such a thing with stdeb, though I'd probably not use it much myself -- I like having a single source package that I just recompile for the different distributions. -Andrew _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
