Re: packaging apps

[Javier Collado]

Hello,

Regarding packaging for debian (.deb), the best reference I've found is:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Python

However, all that mess probably won't be needed anymore once this is finished:

Best regards,
Javier

I don't think there is a simple way to do that just yet...

Of course, you could make a source distribution and do it for
each of these platforms using the documentation available at:

http://docs.python.org/distutils/

I'm struggling with that myself.. I can never remember command lines..

So maybe it is time that I try to throw together a tool a little
bit like the package manager except that it does the building..

for all those platforms...

I think it's time for distutils to have some sort of gui build
tool... and I've been talking about it for too long now... haha
