Re: unused substitution,variable ${python:Versions}
OoO Lors de la soirée naissante du mercredi 14 juillet 2010, vers 17:17, Bernd Zeimetz be...@bzed.de disait : I'm working on package that uses CDBS That's not a very good choice. Why? Because cdbs is an unmaintainable beast of Makefiles. I'm not sure who is willing to keep the Python parts in there working. Since we have dh, which is a sane piece of code with a sane upstream, most new packages use dh. And I know several people who are willing to update dh to work with new Python versions/packaging changes if necessary. cdbs is a simple piece of software to maintain a Python package. Until recently, it was the only option to get a debian/rules as short as this: #!/usr/bin/make -f DEB_PYTHON_SYSTEM = pysupport include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk I still prefer cdbs to dh because it is easier to configure by just setting variables. I know that there is some drawback (see for example #386970 that is still not solved) but for simple packages, it just does its job. I think that since it is major piece of Debian (still an official way to build a package), we should ensure that it will work with the new policy. I will try to take care of this (and I will look at other python related bugs currently in BTS). -- I AM NOT A DENTIST I AM NOT A DENTIST I AM NOT A DENTIST -+- Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode 7F24 pgpFLPsNOIw6s.pgp Description: PGP signature

An example package that handles a pure python modules and an extension
module would be great.
For properly bundled pure Python one you merely need
/usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.tiny
as your debian/rules ;)
cdbs would work as fine for you there too (it used to be my favorite ;))
But if you want a good example for a Python module primarily based
on an extension (i.e. there is not much of Python arch-indep code),
Christian Kastner pointed me today to Jakub's good work on python-djvu
-- there you get an example which provides proper python-*-dbg package,
does unittesting for all versions (including -dbg) during build and
builds the documentation, with not too much of debian/rules since it
relies on dh's builtin functionality primarily.
If you do have a mix of relatively large amount of Python code and
arch extensions, you might like to look into packages which provide
arch-indep python-bla, and then python-bla-lib{,-dbg} for extensions.
E.g. you could look into mine python-nipy although it isn't using the
latest -dbg logic of dh (TODO for me ;)), so not yet the nicest example.
Cheers,

For example, support for autotools Python packages has been recently added - and this is something that dh can’t do. I think there are more urgent matters to settle than picking over a developer’s build system choice. -- .''`.

The package builds fine and works correctly. However, the build
reports the following warning:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package python-presage: unused substitution
variable ${python:Versions}
It's safe to ignore this warning.
