#10250 — How to package my python module ?

Dear all,

I have a simple python module - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/youdao-simple.

The source code is deployed on the Github -
https://github.com/mudongliang/youdao-python

If someone could give some tips to package this python module, I will
appreciate it.

P.S. I don't know whether this is right mailing list to ask this question.

Welcome. This forum is to discuss the packaging of Python works, to
become part of the Debian operating system.

If you are intending to maintain a package indefinitely in the Debian
operating system, then this is the right forum :-)

To learn how to package software as part of Debian, start with
<URL:https://mentors.debian.net/intro>.

I am sure I would like to become to a package maintainer of the Debian package.
It's my honor. And I am a big fan of Debian System. I have been
exploring the Debian
World in four to five years.

Great!

This forum is good for discussions specific to packaging Python in
Debian.

To learn Debian packaging, you will also want to subscribe to the
Mentors forum <URL:https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/> which is
specific for teaching people to become Debian maintainers.

I would like to pick up one orphaned software before, but I was busy
in previous months.
So it is delayed. And I want to learn from packaging my own python
package. Then if I have
more free time, I will try that plan.

Hi all,

after I read the material Ben sent to me, I have a understanding of
the whole process.

At first, I need to package my python module as a Debian package.

Second, I need to find one sponsor to upload my package to the Debian
software repository(for now I don't have the privilege);

Finally, after I am able to handle this procedure and believed by
sponsor, maybe I could get limited upload privilege.

I have registered in the mentors website and uploaded my GPG key. Now
it comes to one problem - how do I package my python module?

For the materials about packaging a debian package, it is related one
general debian package. Is there document about how to package
one python module? Or find one debian package which is also python
module and borrow some experience from it?

It might need some time up until you become a DM to be able to upload
packages on your own, but in general, the above is correct.

Have a look into the git repositories of other Python packages [1].
Also, these wiki articles [2] [3] might be worth a read.

All the best,

Before then, as you can read in the introductory document
<URL:https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers>, you can publish to
the Mentors repository for review by mentors.

That is the whole purpose of the Mentors package repository :-)

Hi all,

thanks for your tips.

First, I refer to [1] and all the previous materials in the mailing
list to generate all the debian metadata files. During this step,
some commands are very useful, including dch -i/-a.

For now, I have submitted all the debian metadata files to [my Github
repo](https://github.com/mudongliang/youdao-python).

Second, I use "debuild" to build and sign the deb package. But I got one error :

> dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package youdao-python

>From [2], I just used that answer and build the package successfully.
Finally I got two files:

youdao-python_1.1.0_all.deb, youdao-python_1.1.0_amd64.changes

Finally, I used "lintian" and "debc" to check the status of packaging:

youdao-python_1.1.0_all.deb

The Debian Project has Git hosting for packaging work. You should
maintain your packaging files in a VCS repository at
<URL:https://salsa.debian.org/>. This will make it easier for other
Debian Project members to collaborate with you.

Upload the Debian source package to the Mentors package repository, then
report an RFS (Request For Sponsor) bug report for the package. Read
<URL:https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers> for how to do these.
