That link truly helped. Currently I have deploy an ipkg package on my
moko, which lands things as intended in /usr/bin and
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/. Great! Another step further into
public availability of my tinkering :)

Hi,

you should have a look at Python distutils.

Then contact the people from the distributions (SHR, Debian, etc...). 
They will create the ipk, deb, etc. based on the distutils file of your 
Python application.

An ipk file is just a load of files packaged together. These are
distributed as you see fit, then opkg "installs" your application by
extracting the relevant files to the places you want them. All very
easy (said, literally, as an average Joe) if you use the ipkg-build
script. More info:

Of course, a good way to learn is to grab any ipk file, extract it,
and see what it does.

Cheers, Joseph

How to publish a piece of software in python?

2009-11-29 Thread Ivo van den Maagdenberg
I have a rather simple request: what is the procedure to publish a set
of python script files, into a distributable package for releasing it
to the opkg feeds?

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain posed me some challanges. After reaching
"How to create your own project from the sample project" it seems this
whole method is for a c-programs... this turns me down, sorry.

So, where is the simple 5-10 step procedure for average joes like me?
