Re: Making Numpy transition less - pydist file painful
* Piotr Ożarowski <piotr@debian.org>, 2011-11-01, 23:23:
could you make it in a way that dh_python2 users will still benefit
from it? i.e. extend /usr/share/python/dist/python-numpy file with a
second line similar to:
In the other paragraph I argued that actually we should remove the
first line...
... or replace it with unversioned python-numpy (and then you need
another one for strict dependencies)
How is that different than removing the line?
But anyway, I don't quite understand what problem you are trying to
solve. Surely you can use dh_python2 and dh_numpy together...
you don't need dh_numpy if you use dh_python2
Yes, you do.
Out of a few dozens of packages that should have versioned dependency on
python-numpy, exacty 0 (yes, zero) have numpy in requires.txt.
Conversly, all of the packages that in the archive that have numpy in
requires.txt (epigrass[0], python-pygrace[0], python-openopt) are
arch:all. If they are converted to dh_python2 before we kill (or fix)
/usr/share/python/dist/python-numpy, they'll gain unwanted versioned
dependency on python-numpy.
[0] Eeek, these two actually already use dh_python2. Fortunately, they
don't build-depend on python-numpy...
