Package and script naming
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello everyone,
I am in the process of putting finishing touches to a few new Debian
Python packages and applications to go though the Debian-mentor process
in order to become part or the debian-python team ! Meanwhile, I have a
few questions. I have two to ask now.
I am working on a Python application for the Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux
distributions. For this one, I am not sure about the naming scheme, so I
thought I should ask here.
The application is named "lunch", and should provide the following files:
* /usr/share/applications/lunch.desktop
* /usr/share/man/man1/lunch.1
* /usr/share/pixmaps/lunch.png
* /usr/bin/lunch
* /usr/share/pyshared/lunch/ : a Python package with a few modules.
* /usr/share/pyshared/lunch-0.1.1.egg-info/ : I guess an egg will be there.
So, I guess, in the setup.py file, the "name" keyword-argument of the
setup function should be "lunch". Does that mean that my Debian package
should be named "python-lunch", or can it be named simply "lunch" ?
An other question : since the executable and the package have the same
name, the executable needs to be in script/lunch. This means that I need
to run it with a command such as the following :
PYTHONPATH=$PWD scripts/lunch
If I want to test my executable, from within the repository, without the
need to install the Python package, even using "sudo python setup.py
develop". Anyone has a workaround to avoid typing that much ? I would
rather simply type "./scripts/lunch" to run my app.
Thanks !
