Re: RFS: mirage

["Eugenio 'g7' Paolantonio" <me@medesimo.eu>]

Hi Jakub, and sorry for the late reply...

The same bug that affects mirage has been already fixed: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625760

So, I really think that it is my fault. Later I will ask in #debian-python for help.

Ciao,
Eugenio

You binary package dependencies are wrong. (You really should pay attention to that when converting between helpers...) See Python Policy 3.3.1.

Did you mean 3.1.1?

Right, sorry.

I see that I should add something to the dependencies something like: python (< 2.7)
Am I right?

Please never hardcode Python version numbers in debian/control.
If the tool you are using is not doing the good job, you have the following choices:
1. Use another tool that works.
2. File a bug and patiently wait until it's fixed.
3. Find a work-around.

Why your override_dh_auto_build is empty?

Because of this:

Well, this is wrong. You should do as much as possible in the build* targets, leaving binary* targets only for stuff that needs (fake)root privileges. In this particular case building Python extensions definitely should be done in the build* targets.
