I can see stdeb mentions logilab-devtools in its background
section. Thank you :)
logilab-devtools_ provides a command named lgp that uses metadata
stored in __pkginfo__.py to make (much) easier the job of the Debian
Developer packaging python programs.
Once the thing is set up, we usually type:
lgp build -d lenny,squeeze,sid,hardy,jaunty
to get packages for all these distributions.
For a description of the __pkginfo__ format, see pkginfo_variables_
As you surely know, packaging is a hot topic in the Python community
at the moment. In case this did not appear on your radars yet, here are
3 PEPs and a couple blog entries:
PEP-345_ Metadata for Python Software Packages 1.2
PEP-386_ Changing the version comparison module in Distutils
PEP-376_ Changing the .egg-info structure
`Words on distribute`_ by Tarke Ziade
`The Configuration Management Problem`_ by myself <shameless plug!>
Hope this helps converging towards efficient packaging for all,
