Description : convert installed Python packages to wheels
The purpose of this package is to make it easier to devendorize other
packages which bundle various upstream packages. An example of this
is pip, which bundles a half-dozen or so other upstream packages. In
Debian and other distros, such vendoring is frowned upon. To make it
easier to devendorize, dirtbike turns installed system packages into
wheels, and these wheels can then be used instead of the vendored
packages.
The intent is for dirtbike to be solely a Build-Depends for a limited
set of other packages such as python-pip, python-virtualenv, and any
other packages which vendorize their dependencies.
For now, I plan to maintain this myself (perhaps with other upstream
authors who are also Debian Developers), but it may eventually migrate
to the Python Applications Packaging Team (PAPT).
