Excellent tutorial, although abit too verbose and detailed for people experienced with Linux. I would expect most people interested in making packages would at least have experience with terminal commands! But that's just a minor point.

Was building my Debian packages using "dpkg -b" in the past and all files created manually from Debian Policies. Will investigate Deb Helper scripts further since they seem to simplify job of a package maintainer quite a bit.

Very very useful. It seemed some of the functions had been updated or changed since release, so remake would be very valuable. However, it served my purpose with a few adaptions so thank you so much!

very nice video..

Now I understand how it goes :) Very thanks.

100s of thank you!

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!

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:

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.
