#7898 — How to tweak homebrew install target for Gubbins

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.

#7909 — How to manually install python scripts and needed modules (Was: How to tweak homebrew install target for Gubbins)

Hi,

since nobody seems to have any experience with brew in my last
commit to the gubbins packaging git[1] I tried to install the
included python files manually.  Unfortunately for the python
module I installed to

   /usr/share/pyshared/gubbins

the processing to /usr/lib/python3.4/gubbins does not work.  Any
hint how to do this correctly (or is my attempt a bad idea in
general)?

(Any hints to my question below are welcome as well - I just
want to install the python files ...).

Thanks for any help

      Andreas.

pyshared is an implementation detail of some Python related tools in
Debian. Please do not use it.

if it's a public Python module, install into
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/, if not (and name of your binary package
suggests that), use anything but that dir, f.e. /usr/share/gubbins/
(remember to install there also scripts or your will have to patch them
to update sys.path)
