Re: Missing debian runtime dependencies for a software that im trying to package

[Aryan Karamtoth <aryankmmiv@outlook.com>]

apparently pillow is already being distributed on Debian under python3-pil but I still have to package the others but that's one less package for me to package.

However I believe python library packaging could be a bit easier than making deb packages for software that have different build systems as there are a lot of python libraries out on Debian where I can refer to their source and check their Debian folder

Id still appreciate if someone can provide any docs related to python library packaging. I'm using dhmake for my packaging work.

This is the usual slowdown. I would advise first recursing through all
unpackaged dependencies making sure all of them can be packaged in
Debian due to license and Python version compatibility. If any of the
dependencies is not Python 3.13 ready, then it will take even more time
to make them so.

Best,
