I wasn't following this effort before -- forgive me if that had been
talked about before.
Looks like the Python-bindings (and others too) should go into separate
binary packages and be handled by proper tools. pysupport should take
care of all Python-related issue (including the one above).
Is there any reason for this verbose rules file. Both debhelper7 and
cdbs should help a lot with the common cases of packaging (like this
one) and also provide convenient helpers for python packages.
I might be able to help with the general and python-related aspects of
this packaging, but wanted to ask first if there is need to stay close
to the current state?
Right now the packaging looks quite raw -- lots of unused/unedited
files. The rules file only seems to build the python-bindings and none
of the rest -- including the main library -- is that intended?
Given these facts the binary package should be named 'python-sigar'.
Is there a repository for this packaging somewhere? You chose to take an
SVN snapshot (upstream also offers the code in git). Did you just
download that snapshot or have the code in a repository together with
the packaging?
