Hi,
I finally got around to look at this again. As a reminder, this is
what I am trying to do:
I recently took over maintainership for the package
'python-biopython-py'. However, I think the name biopython-py
would be
more appropriate.
Back in July, Dan MAcks suggested the following:
A second problem is how the user who has the old-name package
installed will know about this upgrade...his old-name-1.0-1 isn't
marked out-of-date when new-name-2.0-1 appears. One solution is to
create a final old-name-2.0-1:Depends:new-name(=2.0-1) but is
Type:bundle and has a Description noting that it's just a upgrade
compatibility game. That way his old old-name will be out-of-date, and
when he upgrades it he will get he'll get the new one.
Here's the info file for the old package I created:
Info2:
Package: python-biopython-py%type_pkg[python]
Type: bundle, python (2.2 2.3 2.4)
Version: 1.40b
Revision: 1
Depends: biopython-py%type_pkg[python] (= 1.40b)
Description: Python tools for computational biology
Maintainer: Koen van der Drift [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DescPackaging:
This is a convenience package for biopython-py, to ensure the
transition to a more consistant package name.
Unfortunaltely this doesn't work, here's the output in the terminal:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/sci] $ fink
