Package: van.pydeb
Tools for introspecting Python package metadata and translating the resulting
information into Debian metadata. This information is translated:Setuptools version numbers to Debian format that sorts correctlySetuptools package names to Debian binary and source package namesSetuptools dependencies to Debian dependenciesThis package provides avan-pydebbinary which provides a way to access the
information from shell scripts. A python based API is also available for python
programs to use.UsageTo extract the dependency info of this package, one can run the following
command after setting up buildout:$ ./bin/van-pydeb depends --egg-info van.pydeb.egg-info
python-setuptools, python-vanThis information can then used in a debian/rules file as follows:(echo -n 'setuptools:Depends=' && van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lib/python$*/site-packages/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info) >> debian/$(PACKAGE).substvarsThere ary many different methods of using this command, such as getting the
dependencies (including the extra dependencies) of the package:van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-infoOr, the dependencies of an extra:van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info --extra $(EXTRA)The dependencies of 2 extras:van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info --extra $(EXTRA) --extra $(EXTRA2)The dependencies of a package excluding the dependencies of extras:van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info --exclude-extra $(EXTRA1) --exclude-extra $(EXTRA2)DevelopmentThe code for van.pydeb is housed in subversion athttp://svn.zope.org/van.pydeb/.Changes1.3.3 (2011-08-10)Generate separate dependencies when both extra and version requirements are
specified (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628560)py_to_bin_default: do not prepend python- if python package name already
starts with it.Update automatically updated list from current unstable.setuptools comes from distribute source package.1.3.2 (2010-06-22)Conform to Zope repository policy.Update automatically updated list from current unstable.Ignore python3 packages for now in auto-generated list.1.3.1 (2010-01-14)Add override for python-gettext.Add override for Chameleon (python-chameleon).Update automatically updated list from current unstable.1.3.0 (2009-09-04)Add a scripts/generate script which generates a python package -> debian
binary mapping suitable for adding to van/pydeb/py_to_bin.txt.Append the output of the generate script to van/pydeb/py_to_bin.txt.Expose _default functions for package conversions so that generate can check
it’s results and weed out extra packages that match the default conversions.Make python-pkg-resources the default translation for setuptools:http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543551Add the concept of options to the list of dependencies.Create a “reduced” option that causes warnings to be printed when a reduced
dependncy is used.Implement a –override-bdep option which can be used to override python to
binary package dependencies.1.2.1 (2009-06-15)Add mapping for ZConfig and RestrictedPython.Change default Debian binary to python package name conversion. The original
package name will be used if there is no python-prefix. This works with
packages such as buildbot which do not include the python-. The previous
version errored in this case, so we’re backwards compatible :)1.2.0 (2009-05-29)Improve README.txt. Thanks to Fabio Tranchitella for a better looking way of
calling van-pydeb in the rules file.Expose version and package name conversion functions via the command line interface.
e.g. This command will print out the debian binary package name:$ van-pydeb py_to_bin foo1.1.0 (2009-05-26)Obligatory “How could I have done that” release smoothing out documentation
bugs and making the command line options more complete.1.0.0 (2009-05-26)Initial Release.
