How to tweak homebrew install target for Gubbins

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I'm working on packaging Gubbins for the Debian Med team.  The build
currently ends up in

...
Making install in python
make[2]: Entering directory '/build/gubbins-1.4.3/python'
/usr/bin/python3 setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_scripts
make[3]: Entering directory '/build/gubbins-1.4.3/python'
/usr/bin/python3 setup.py install
running install
Checking .pth file support in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/test-easy-install-14282.pth'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

  https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

Makefile:462: recipe for target 'install-exec-local' failed

After contacting the author he suspects that's due to the usage of
brew:

    For homebrew I don’t let it make install the python dependancies
    (line 67), and instead invoke it later in the standard python manner.
    I don’t know if this is the best way to do it, but it makes it work
    in this instance.
    https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/blob/master/gubbins.rb
    Any advise on how to improve things would be welcome

Since I also never stumbled upon brew I wonder what might be the best
way to get a clean install target for the Debian packaging and may be as
a hint for upstream who is very responsive.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
