+Description: interactive plotting application toolkit
+ Chaco is a Python plotting application toolkit and a part of
+ Enthought Tool Suite. It is meant to facilitate writing plotting
+ applications of all levels of complexity, from simple scripts with
+ hard-coded data to large plotting programs with complex data
+ interrelationships and a multitude of interactive tools. While Chaco
+ generates nice static plots for publication and presentation
+ purposes, its components are all designed to be work well for
+ interactive data visualization.
+ .
+ This package also includes Kiva and Enable packages from the
+ Enthought Tool Suite which are multi-platform DisplayPDF drawing
+ engines that support multiple output backends, including Windows,
+ GTK, and Macintosh native windowing systems, a variety of raster
+ image formats, PDF, and Postscript.
Running lintian we get
---- lintian check for enthought-chaco2_2.0.1b1-1.dsc ----
E: enthought-chaco2 source: missing-python-build-dependency
N:
N: The package appears to use Python as part of its build process in
N: debian/rules but doesn't depend on Python.
N:
N: Normally, packages that use Python as part of the build process should
N: build-depend on one of python, python-all, python-dev, or
N: python-all-dev depending on whether they support multiple versions of
N: Python and whether they're building modules or only using Python as
N: part of the package build process. Packages that depend on a specific
N: version of Python may build-depend on the appropriate pythonX.Y or
N: pythonX.Y-dev package instead.
N:
N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 4.2 for details.
N:
Now, the package *does* B-D on python-all-dev, which in turn gets every
python-foo-dev and python-foo package installed. So it should not be a
warning?
if you want to look at the package directly, I just accepted it into the
archive.
