A great place for people to start.

Whilst some have commented that it's not fully the debian/ubuntu way - I think this is an excellent "low barrier to entry" piece of documentation that allows people to start packaging python things.

So much of Debian's deep, dark interiors are so complex with documentation that assumes you already know a lot. Here, you start with the basics.

You get my vote...

thanks great video

Thanks. That video is fantastic. A big help!

OK, more feedback for you. The feedback system is awful! It keeps stopping the very interesting vid!

Please take charge of it!

Good so far... got to 6 mins and then it asked me for feedback... hopefully it will work in the end!

Very helpful! Thank you Horst.

Thank you very much for providing this tutorial, I found it very well-paced, well-prepared and informational. I was a bit overwhelmed with the complexity, especially the fact that you need to modify the source to make it work (how do you test that?). I wonder if checkinstall does an equivalent job or if it is worse. Thank you again for a great presentation!

it's fine! I like it and I learned a lot, but I wanted to know in wich directorys I need put an python module :)

This is giving me a jump start on building a debian package for my python program, thanks!

Thanks for making the video - I am just learning Debian packaging and this was the first explanation that told me about dh_make, etc.

Do you intend to expand your video to include details about how to use python-support? I am really struggling with it (but I have only spent a few hours, so far).

(Python-support in *one* of the systems of making sure that you get all of the correct pycs generated for all your system's installed versions of Python.)

I *think* that using either python-support or pycentral is required to make "real" Debian packages from Python packages (rather than from just a single module). By "real", I mean packages that have a chance of getting into the official Debian/Ubuntu repositories.

Is my understanding correct?

Thanks again for making this video.

Chris.

Really welldone video!

Easy to hear and to understand anything.

Really useful!! It is just what I needed to watch.

Thank you!

Excellent tutorial!

hi frnd,

The documentation to this video (including presentation in pdf and open-office format as well as code examle) is linked in the wiki page for this video:

http://wiki.showmedo.com/index.php/LinuxJensMakingDeb

I'd prefer to see this as a document, rather than a screencast.

Pretty good tutorial. Thanks a lot.

I got one working! Now to start making a more real example. Thanks heaps from Auckland, New Zealand.

* Architecture should be "all" (if there are no Python extensions - .so files) i.e. package can be build on one architecture and used on all others ("any" will be build separately on all architectures)

* non-Debian-specific patches should be sent upstream and I guess disabling support for other OSes will not be accepted

* building the package with root privileges is not a good idea, use fakeroot or `debuild` command (which will invoke fakeroot)

* instead of deleting ../*.orig.tar.gz you should `mv ./packagename-version.tar.gz ../packagename_version.orig.tar.gz`

* BTW: there are examples (Makefile based apps, setup.py based apps, etc.) on http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/python-apps/packages/, I guess it's easier to copy debian dir from one of existing packages. There's also #debian-python channel @ OFTC network

Great video. Thanks

hi horst...

I am trying to create a .deb package with some perl scripts and some .rules file. I am getting the following error

dpkg-buildpackage: set CPPFLAGS to default value:

dpkg-buildpackage: set CFLAGS to default value: -g -O2

dpkg-buildpackage: set CXXFLAGS to default value: -g -O2

dpkg-buildpackage: set FFLAGS to default value: -g -O2

dpkg-buildpackage: set LDFLAGS to default value: -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions

dpkg-buildpackage: source package rusbserver

dpkg-buildpackage: source version 1.1.1-1

dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by karthik

dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386

debian/rules clean

debian/rules:15: *** missing separator. Stop.

dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2

pls do help me how should i proceed...

if using gedit, check the menu option : edit -> preferences -> editor.

make sure that the option "replace tabs with spaces." is NOT checked.

Please publish an email address (or register yourself at showmedo) when posting questions.

I have the same error! How can I correct the rules file with the needed TABS? I used gedit.

just to say that I solved the problem I described just above :

you *REALLY* need TABS in rules. It won't work if you edit it with an editor which is set to replace TABS by spaces.

Great video (except for the very low volume), but I'm getting an error and I just can't find out why (google didn't help ... just brought me back here)

here is the tail of the dpkg-buildpackage output :

dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386

debian/rules clean

debian/rules:15: *** missing separator. Stop.

dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2

any idea where that might be coming from? My rule file looks very very much like yours.

Sehr schoenes Video, gerade weil sich die meisten Anleitungen im Netz um 'configure' und 'make' files drehen. Deshalb hats mich sehr gefreut, dazu so ein "anschauliches" Tut zu Python zu finden.

I've found the origin of my problem (the previous comment):

I did NOT move the .tar package from my project directory.

So I've solved so:

dh_make [arguments...] myproject.tar.gz

It has generated the archive "myprobject.orig.tar.gz" in the parent directory.

I've moved "myproject.tar.gz" (NOT orig.tar.gz) in the parent directory, and I've given "dpkg-buildpackage" (it can be done also without root privileges).

However, very good video!

Thank you very much ;)

Hi!

I don't understand why I receive this error:

http://pastebin.com/f1c5d06e1

Can you help me?

Thank you ;)

Thank you very much this video was very useful for me. thanks

Now to complement this an approach using a Python egg first, and then build a Debian package would be interesting. I would suppose some meta data and some steps would be quite eased.

Hey man, this is great stuff. Thanks a lot, now I can make lots of little python apps and share them with friends and all I need to do is pass them a simple .deb package :D . Great work and keep it up!

very nice to have walk through of deb package creation process.

I found the German interface to be a bonus. I hadn't seen

a native speaker of another language using Ubuntu before!

Thanks

Horst, I thought you'd like to know that your video has sparked-off a nice thread:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/python/613828

"I am trying to make a debian package. I am following the tutorial by Horst Jens ([link]) and it is very informative. However one thing my app has and his doesn't, is multiple python files which need to be executed. For example ..."

Good job,

Ian.

Thanks for making this video! I've wanted to try making a debian package for a long time. It looks complicated and I'm sure I'll be referring to this video a lot when I try it on my own.

Nice to see this, I do not have Ubuntu, but probably will use it later in the future, seeing how wonderful it can be.

thanks

Thanks for this video

Thanks for this video - It helped me build my very first debian package

You made a very helpful and informative video, Horst! I use both Python and Debian/Ubuntu, but have never attempted to make a Debian package before. This video encouraged me to make one for an upcoming Python project. Thanks!

Thanks very much for this video, it's been really helpfull. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, the interface is in German, because i was working with an German Ubuntu Desktop. Meanwhile i know how to set up an English Desktop. If i ever make a better version of this video it will be complete in English.

just some minor problem with the video.. the graphical interface is not in english, although the audio track is.

I'm glad to hear that. Sorry for the low quality, it was my first video. If i accumulate more knowlege i will eventually re-do this video..

Helped ne as well ^^

Thank you Horst for this great tutorial! I'm sure it will help me a lot.

Thanks Horst!
