Dear Mentors, I am planning to request the addition of HarvestMan to Debian (not filed an ITP yet). See the website for more: http://harvestman.freezope.com Now, I have managed to create a HarvestMan package which generates debs for python-harvestman, python2.3-harvestman and python2.4-harvestman. I do this because though HarvestMan works using Python 2.3, using Python 2.4 provides better performance. My doubt is: HarvestMan installs all packages in /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/HarvestMan/. This includes the main executable. Now, the author's script provides the usual python build-install sequence followed by the creation of a symbolic link to the executable in /usr/bin. Should I manually create the link in a similar fashion? If so, do I use the postinst and prerm scripts, or is there another way? And, what is the symbolic link already exists for one version (say the python2.3 version) while installing the other? Thanks.
