I am interested in adapting stdeb ( http://github.com/astraw/stdeb ) to handle toydist distributions. Nevertheless, the goals of toydist seem mostly unrelated to your issue with the exception that toydist will hopefully make generating .deb packages easier and more robust. See http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/issues#issue/16 for a wishlist item that I think would solve your issue. In that ticket, I give the steps required to solve the issue -- I don't think it looks too hard, and patches will be reviewed with a goal of producing something that gets merged. -Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
