Hi,

I want to repackage GladTeX (it used to be Perl and has been rewritten in
Python). GladTeX comes with a module and an command-line application. Pybuild
copies all files into the package defined first in debian/control and I am not
sure how to separate the module from the application.

Is there an easy way to tell pybuild to distribute different parts of the build
output to different packages?

I have uploaded a snapshot of the package to <http://crustulus.de/pkg.txz>. The
old version was maintained within the pkg-a11y domain, but it does not belong
there. Since I'm using gbp, I didn't want to fiddle around with svn-buildpackage
yet (used by PAPT).

Thanks
Sebastian

Thank you for working on this package for Debian.

Is the “command-line application” just a single program file, which
imports the library and does its stuff?

If so, that file should be installed to the right place (‘/usr/bin/foo’
probably) by the build system. You then configure ‘dh_install’ to
install that file specifically to the ‘foo’ binary package.

Then you use ‘dh_python3’ to package the Python 3 library to its binary
package.

How would I do that? dh_auto_install moves the script too debian/gladtex/usr/bin
along with the module (to */usr/lib). I now set the PYBUILD_NAME to the name of the library package
(python3-gleetex) and move the file manually after dh_auto_install. Looks hacky
though.
I've uploaded the package to ssh://git.debian.org/git/python-modules/packages/gladtex.git.

It would be great if somebody could have a look.

Thanks
Sebastian

I would ask whether you please could have a look at the package, so that I can
finish the packaging.

Thanks
