At this time it's not possible to add post install script and post remove script with the existing PyPackager version.

But as you need it, i ll make a new version with this feature. I'll try to do it for tomorrow, but i can't garantee it. At last it's ll be available at the end of the week.

Thanks that would be great. No rush, I still need to figure out what i'm going to put into the script.

For information pre/post install/remove script is working for the next release. I need to do more test to be sure all work. But it ll be available soon.

At the beginning of pypackager, i want to add a concatenated description on the package created, but i think it more annoying than usefull.

I prefer user like you witch freely said that they use pypackager

Furthermore, it ll be annoying for users when they make a search on a package with the string "pypackager" seeing millions ( ) packages in the result.

New version 0.6.0 is now available.

Yes, I definately would and do mention it whenever possible.

Thanks again, it may take a bit to fully test out how i intend to use it but i'll let you know. Can I do python in these scripts? If not i have workaround that doesn't need python. Just some pattern matching to /etc/sudoers that i think requires perl or python and i already require python.

For debian package pre/post rm/inst scripts you can use whatever you want, even Python. The requirement is simply that the interpreter or programs you call are actually available on the N800/770.

(That's one of the problems with just rebuilding a standard debian desktop package, quite often the standard scripts are a bit too fancy (using non-tablet-existing tools) to run. Which is probably the reason for the problems with de-installing the zsh package, for example.)

Excellent explanation, thanks. If i ever need a remove script, i'll use standard shell script to be safe.

Thanks - now it has already surpassed my needs :-)
