Make egg metadata information available for Debian packaging
Project description
Tools for introspecting egg-info directories and translating the resulting information into debian format. This information is translated:
Setuptools version numbers to debian format that sorts correctly
Setuptools package names to debian binary and source package names
Setuptools dependencies to debian dependencies
This package provides a script pydebdep which introspects an installed .egg-info to extract egg dependency information. The package names are converted to their debian equivilant and the dependency information is printed in the format of a dpkg “Depends:” line.
Usage
To extract the dependency info of this package, one can:
$ python2.4 setup.py build $ PYTHONPATH=./src python2.4 pydebdep --depends --egg_info src/vanguardistas.pydebdep.egg-info python-setuptools, python-vanguardistas
This information can then used in a debian/rules file as follows:
i=”$$(pydebdep –depends –egg_info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lib/python$*/site-packages/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info)” && echo “setuptools:Depends=$$i” >> debian/$(PACKAGE).substvars
The different methods of using this are:
Give the dependencies (including the extra dependencies) of the package:
pydebdep depends –egg_info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info
The dependencies of an extra:
pydebdep depends –egg_info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info –extra $(EXTRA)
The dependencies of 2 extras:
pydebdep depends –egg_info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info –extra $(EXTRA) –extra $(EXTRA2)
The dependencies of a package excluding the dependencies of extras:
pydebdep depends –egg_info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info –exclude-extra $(EXTRA1) –exclude-extra $(EXTRA2)
