With my Debian developer and Debian OpenStack packaging team hat on, I must say that you're totally right about this. All upstreams projects trying to do packaging does a terrible job at it, because that's not something you can improvise. It's more important to understand the needs of the packagers (e.g. a proper setup.py) than to try to do their jobs worse. -- Julien Danjou // eNovance http://enovance.com // ✉ [email protected] ☎ +33 1 49 70 99 81 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
