Hi,

Yes i know my website is ... pffff no word ...
I'm currently redesign it.

PyPackager will be in repository in few days.

Does PyPackager 0.7 work with the current Diablo Extras-Devel? I've got my invitation, I've got my GPG key, and I'm going to try an upload; but I've heard that things have changed and you can't just upload a binary package anymore, you have to upload a source package?

Also: a feature request! I would love to have a field in PyPackager that corresponds to the "provides" field in the Debian package system.

Also, I have quite some improvement suggestions for py2deb, might be easier once that stuff is in place.
In addition py2deb currently doesn't support pre-/postinstall scripts, something that is sorely needed for some apps.

Yes, I tried an upload, and PyPackager connects to extras-devel and everything, but it is trying to put the files in a directory that doesn't exist on the server... so things have changed...

I pretty much have to have the post install scripts.

Here is the promised article on py2deb in the maemo wiki.
Hope it helps someone. Problems I had when first getting into py2deb:
- No flat sourcefile structure
- launching the buildmyapp.py without using the full path name

I'm trying to use pypackager to build a deb for squeak. I want to install some files to /media/mmc2, however, when I run the installer it baulks with the message:

error setting ownership of 'media/mmc2/squeak': Operation not permitted.

I suppose this is due to the FAT32 file system. Is there any way around this without installing the file to say /var/tmp and then moving it with a post processing script.

Hi there. Really nice work Khertan. Thank you very much, but it doesn't completely work for me. I got a debian package at the end but the application isn't really installed successfully.

So the problem seems to be the python dependency. But it is mentioned in the config file so I don't know what might be the problem. I don't think the log-files are a problem. They are handled in a running postinstall and after-remove script.

The unusual path confuses me a little.

Do you have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you very much.
