Well, I'd qualify that with stdeb version 0.4 may be more tough to get
running. It is the bleeding edge, after all. :) 0.3 works as well as it
ever did, but new features are going into 0.4.
But now that you mention it, I have backported debhelper and
python-support to Hardy. See http://debs.astraw.com/hardy you can
download the binaries or source packages from there. (You can also add
my repo to your /etc/apt/sources.list)
Wow, there's quite a few packages there. Is debhelper and
python-support all that are needed or do I need any others because of
dependencies?
I can't remember -- you'll have to attempt installation to find out. I
think there are some but not too many dependencies that need to be
upgraded (I guess on the order of 5 packages or so).
Ok, here is the simplest way that I got stdeb working on Hardy:
$ easy_install stdeb # installs 0.3
copied stdeb egg to workarea and edited util.py and removed all
"--single-version-externally-managed" options
repackaged egg
copied egg back to site-packages
Now dpkg-buildpackage is happy and no more complaints about unrecognized
option or missing dependencies.
So my question is this: can you make a special version of the current
stdeb 0.3 without the --single-version-externally-managed options and
put it into your hardy repo?
This would be much easier and less worrisome to hardy users than trying
to get them to upgrade a lot of different packages.
Regards,
Gerry
