Going further today, I now have a ‘python-coverage’ package that:
* uses Debhelper 7.x (as before)
* uses python-support (as before)
* is Debian source package format “3.0 (quilt)”
* has multiple binary packages
and it successfully builds the original (“normal”) binary package,
‘python-coverage’.
However, in doing so, I've had to fall back on explicitly iterating
Python versions and explicitly calling ‘setup.py install’, which partly
defeats the purpose of using Debhelper 7 and python-support. This is
frustrating, and I wonder if I'm missing some simpler way to do
multiple binary Python packages with these tools.
Also, while the ‘python-coverage’ binary package is now building
correctly, the ‘python-coverage-dbg’ binary package contains nothing
useful; it's as though there is no content for that package detected by
the tools. Isn't that exactly why I'm using Debhelper >= 7.3.5 in the
first place: to automatically handle the debug package based on
‘Build-Depends: python-all-dbg’?
I would appreciate some feedback again at this point, I'm going
cross-eyed trying to find what is wrong and someone else can probably
see it much easier.
I'm not uploading it to mentors because it's not in a fit state for
release. The Debian packaging is in a Bazaar repository:
$ bzr branch http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/collab-maint/python-coverage/python-coverage.debian/
You can use ‘uscan’ to get the upstream source (currently version 3.2).
Thanks in advance to mentors spending time to help me.
