Did you read the bug? 1) Auke stated that it is MeeGo policy that they "want people to be able to build MeeGo images on any current and popular distro". Assuming that is really MeeGo policy then it is a bug that it is not currently possible on Debian. 2) The main issue is that the instructions in http://wiki.meego.com/Developing_in_a_Meego_Environment don't work. That is a bug in the instructions. 3) Is it MeeGo's problem that Debian doesn't have mic-chroot? Yes. So, MeeGo provides it. python-kickstart is no different. > You should file that to Debian and ask them how soon they can provide a > package. That is not how distros work (any distro, not just Debian) -- if I create an app which I want to work on Debian, it is my responsibility (not Debian's) to provide all the dependencies which are not part of the distro. If I want to create packages for (say) GPE on Debian, I can't complain that Debian hasn't packaged some library I need -- I have to include packages for that with my release as well. There is nothing special about Debian here -- it works the same way on (say) Fedora, or even MeeGo! When I port GPE Calendar to MeeGo I won't be logging a bug against MeeGo that it doesn't include libgpepimc -- I will be porting that as well. Similarly, if I wanted to port kontact to MeeGo, I wouldn't report a bug that libkdepim4 wasn't available in MeeGo! It is clear it this is a MeeGo bug -- I don't think anyone from the MeeGo developer support team will disagree. Of course, we are here to find bugs so that is no problem. That is why I asked for a workround (and thanks to Samir for providing some steps towards one -- but that is the subject of another email).
