[Draft] Debian Python Policy 0.2
Packages (mostly) conforming to this policy are at:
deb http://people.debian.org/~nas woody/
I've updated a lot of packages. If there is something missing that you
use please let me know. After updating about 30 packages I'm getting
good at it. :-)
Changes from last version (off the top of my head):
- Re-order sys.path (not done in the python package yet).
- Packaged modules should depend on python-api-X.Y
- Remove section on legacy versions of Python (they are
independent). I should probably add a section saying that
packages other than "python" cannot provide python-api-*.
- Simplify postinst and prerm scripts by including
/usr/lib/package-{install,remove} in the python package. This
mechanism could probably eventually be used to share packages
between different versions of Python but let's not do that yet.
Please comment. Thanks.
Neil
