[Bug 354812] Re: python-apt for python2.4 would be appreciated

[Michael Vogt]

Thanks for your bugreport.

This is unfortunately difficult. python2.4 is no longer marked as
supported and that means that with our python system no python2.4/site-
package files are generated anymore when installing the python-
distutils-extra build depend of python-apt. The tools (dh_python) are
also messing around in the buld tree and remove files that look
unsupported. So including 2.4 symlinks/libs in the python-apt package
itself was not possible without a lot of hacking (if at all).

I now build a python2.4-apt package that contains the 2.4 files and can
be co-installed with the normal python-apt. Its in lp:~mvo/python-
apt/python2.4 and I will also push it to my PPA. I can try to push it
for jaunty, but its already relatively late.
