Re: Re: Debian scotch Python egg?
Firstly, thank you for the replies: it's the response to even the daftest question which keeps the community flourishing. To those who've replied: you have reinforced my faith in Debian and Python.
This mail is just to say that I've successfully created a native source tree and accompanied notes for building, installing and removing a minimal Python sdist, egg or "Debian package using dh_python2".
Barry, thanks for the pointer to flufl.enum and its package files. Prior to your guidance I was stuck on an unexpected blocker: all my other hand-created Debian packages have had a Makefile and to start with this one did too. At the time it was sans install target and my Debian package was built "successfully" - though it never contained my Python source text!? The root cause of my frustration was that my package build was silently successful with rules "dh @ --with python2". I twigged the cause at 04:30 this morning. What got me past my sticking point was the absence of a Makefile from flufl.enum. Honestly, I thought I was doing something seriously wrong - I wasn't expecting the presence of a simple Makefile to be the answer!
So, thank you for the replies and sorry for the exposure to my bluster.
I will live up to my promise to document what I've done step-by-step to complement what's already out there. Pls bear with me.
Br.,
David
