[Python-modules-team] Bug#516197: epsilon: generates incorrect package with python-support from experimental

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: epsilon
Version: 0.5.9-1

Hi,

the epsilon rules file contains the following:
binary-post-install/python-epsilon::
        rm -rf $(PKGDIR)/usr/share/python-support/python-epsilon/build/

With the upcoming version of python-support (currently in experimental),
this statement does nothing, since the files are now moved to a
different directory (/usr/share/pyshared). It does not prevent the
package from building, but the resulting package has the build/
directory in it.

In all cases, you should remove these files *before* calling
dh_pysupport, to avoid any manipulation it might do with them. Doing the
removal in the binary-install target and using the standard Python
directory there should be enough.

Please do not rely on the internals of python-support in the packaging;
this will avoid such issues in the future (although hopefully there
won’t be a need to change the paths any further).

Thanks,
--
