well basically all python packages use "all" and it's a bit stupid to generate debs for both i386 and armel when one "all" will do fine

I know I'm late to this thread, but there is actually a decent (if short) howto on python packaging for maemo in the last section of the tutorial on the pymaemo site. I used it as one of my main resources when I wrote Grumby last year (part of my motivation being in fact learning python + deb packaging).

The Grumby source tgz may also be useful as learning aid, since it's basically one python file with a lot of maemo/debian padding around. I remember looking at WordPy and other python packages for inspiration at the time.

Hello Khertan!

I looked at py2deb first to get this packaged, but saw that it doesn't support pre/post-inst scripts (see bottom of the wiki post) and my package relies on these.

Is this correct?

I think I'm really close.

Thanks.
Show me the source! (I could guess something but I won't)

Thank you hns, both the tutorial and Grumby source were extremely helpful. Today I was successfully able to build a .deb the "proper" way. I ended up creating a setup.py and Makefile files, and with a bit of troubleshooting, a few modifications to my rules and control files, it Just Worked (TM).

Now all that is left is figuring out the whole sign packages/gpg thing (because dpkg-buildpackage gave a few warnings about it), then just upload it to the autobuilder.

Thanks for all the help mikkov (and everyone else), but I finally have a working package.

you don't need to sign the deb
