-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, with the new upload of python-qt4, it seems I have outsmarted myself. Here's an outline of the problem: python-qt4 contains the Python package PyQt4 (in /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/PyQt4) with all kinds of extension modules and some pure Python modules, along, of course, with an __init__.py. python-qt4 uses py-central, and the pure Python modules are shared between Python versions. In the new upload, I have moved the development configuration module (PyQt4.pyqtconfig) into python-qt4-dev, which is only needed as a build dependency (QScintilla2, which is currently ITP, will need this). This package also uses pycentral, but the files are not shared because pyqtconfig.py differs wrt the Python version used. python-qt4-dev does not depend on python-qt4, and the point is of course to make the build-dependencies a bit lighter. Now the problem is that __init__.py is in python-qt4, but also needed if python-qt4-dev is installed with python-qt4 (otherwise PyQt4.pyqtconfig cannot be imported). There are several solutions, among them: 1) roll the change back, move pyqtconfig.py back to python-qt4 or 2) make python-qt4-dev depend in python-qt4 or 3) create a new package python-qt4-common that only contains __init__.py, which can be depended upon by python-qt4 and python-qt4-dev 1) and 2) are quite simple solutions, but fail to make the build-deps lighter (python-qt4 is quite a large package, Installed-Size: 19380). Solution 3 reaches this goal, but introduces a new package that has no added value. Are there any other solutions? If not, which way should I go? best regards & TIA Torsten - -- Torsten Marek ID: A244C858 -- FP: 1902 0002 5DFC 856B F146 894C 7CC5 451E A244 C858 Keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGtYaKfMVFHqJEyFgRAp5aAJ9/ddYn8kGXOXBgE50UVjqAnty+lgCfavA1 FcKTr1fJ0qJe7oscDXT3VQw= =19QO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-REQUEST@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
