Hello Christian,

Without = knowing what exactly fails for you, it is quite difficult to point out anyt= hing=2E The steps documented in the wiki are supposed to be working=2E
<= br>That said, the current packaging go to tool for the DPT should be py2dsp= , if what you are working on is a python package=2E `apt install pypi2deb` = will give the py2dsp command and `py2dsp <package-name-in-pypi>` can = give you a nifty initial template to start with=2E For more info you can tr= y `py2dsp --help`=2E What I typically use when creating a new package is `p= y2dsp --profile dpt --distribution unstable --revision 1 --github <githu= b-url> <pypi-package-name>`=2E

No other structured document= ation on using py2dsp is available AFAIK, and I did struggle initially to u= nderstand how to use it=2E Creating a wiki page for that has been my plan s= ince then, but couldn't get to it because of time constraints as well as fe= ar of presenting the wrong info=2E Maybe I'll try to get to that soon enoug= h=2E

Hope this helps=2E

Best,
Ananthu

Hello,=


in order to improve the documentation I need to understand some par=
ts=2E
But I am stuck=2E I don't get it what the authors trying to explai=
n=2E

It is about "Creating a new package" section:
https:=
//wiki=2Edebian=2Eorg/Python/GitPackaging#Creating_a_new_package
The second paragraph points to dsc-file creation described here:
https:=
//wiki=2Edebian=2Eorg/PackagingWithGit/GitDpm/Initialize

The thi=
rd paragraph is a list of shell commands that do not work in my
case=2E =
For example "uscan" don't work because it does not know what and
where t=
o download=2E Of course I understand that=2E

I assume I need a dsc f=
ile?

It seems that my understanding problem is the second paragraph =
and the
dsc-page it is linking, too=2E

For example the first para=
graph on the page
"/PackagingWithGit/GitDpm/Initialize" is impossible to=
 understand for
newbies=2E What is it talking about? There is the term "=
git-dpm" 
pointing to "/PackagingWithGit/GitDpm/" (now after I edit that=
 page
myself)=2E But I am not sure what "git-dpm" is and how much of tha=
t big
page I should work on to make that "uscan" command run=2E
