debian control file doesn't build python-awn-trunk
Hi. Many thanks for the excellent application.
I'm having trouble building debian packages from the development (trunk) branch (rev 154). I'm on a powerbook running debian sid. I've never built a debian package before, which is why I'm not filing a bug report (I presume I've done something wrong).
Using the debian folder so conveniently provided, I typed:
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
I waded through the missing dependencies until I ran into the following:
(apologies, I don't know if I can use code formatting with launchpad)
...
dh_link -ppython-awn-trunk
dh_pycentral -ppython-awn-trunk
dh_python -ppython-awn-trunk debian/
dh_python: Doing nothing since dh_pycompat exists; dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral should do the work. You can remove dh_python from your rules file.
dh_scrollkeeper -ppython-awn-trunk
dh_gconf -ppython-awn-trunk
dh_desktop -ppython-awn-trunk
dh_strip -pavant-
dh_strip: debug package libawn0-trunk-dbg is not listed in the control file
make: *** [binary-
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
The second problem seemed easy enough to fix: I stuck a placeholder section for trunk-dbg into debian/control
...(right after the python section)
Package: libawn0-trunk-dbg
Section: universe/gnome
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends},
Description: Debugging for AWN
Debugging package for Avant Windows Navigator
That solved the dbg problem, but the python package is still not being built (and is presumed superfluous?). This is clearly a problem for the mimenu, at least:
$ avant-window-
Screen is composited.
LOADED : ~/.config/
LOADED : ~/.config/
APPLET : ~/testing/
APPLET : ~/.config/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "~/.config/
import awn
ImportError: No module named awn
(I've replace /home/myusername with ~ in the above section)
looking into debian/
Now, I could just symlink the awn module, as well as the other parts of the python trunk, into my system, but that's not very debian :).
So: is it a bug or have I done something stupid?
thanks very much,
