Dear fellow packagers,
I need some advice on packaging python packages.
I have two packages:
1. package
The upstream author defines:
Python_ 2.4 or later.
Please note that Python_ 3 is not supported yet.
Therefore, I pu the minimum python version in my control file:
XS-Python-Version: >= 2.4
2. package
The upstream author defines:
Requirements
Python 2.x (x>=5)
PyQt4 4.x (x>=3 ; recommended x>=4)
QScintilla2 2.x (x>=1) (PyQt4 extension)
Therefore, I pu the minimum python version in my control file:
XS-Python-Version: >=2.5
I am on Ubuntu Karmic.
When installing the package generated with
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
the system also installes the modules files for Python 2.5 into:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scikits.timeseries-0.91.3-py2.5.egg-info
and
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scikits.timeseries-0.91.3-py2.6.egg-info
So why are the build module files for Python 2.5 additionally installed?
What do I need to change in my control file in order to get only the
Python 2.6 files installed on systems where 2.6 is the default Python
version?
Thanks in advance,
Timmie
