Python: Howto Build a Debian Package for Python Applications

drks — Sat, 2009-05-02 20:12

In my feeble attempt to finally learn how to create .deb packages for Debian/Ubuntu I've found that I seem to be a complete johnny at it. I've been an RPM Developer for the last two and a half years, so you have to cut me some slack... going from _a_ rpm spec file to this .deb craziness is beyond me. Hopefully after this weekend I will be less of a johnny, and have a grasp on the subject of creating Debian/Ubuntu packages.

Specifically, I am working on packaging some Python applications which steers away from the standard defaults (geared to C binary applications) that dh_make uses, etc. That said, I'll be listing the sites I find that are actually helpful in my quest. Once I have a solid grasp on the subject, I'll write up an article on it (as I'm finding these existing howtos a bit confusing).

Links:

* www.pythonmark.com

* www.debian-administration.org

* www.showmedo.com/videotutorials ... or download the .pdf
