SIGAR Python packaging
Thiago Franco Moraes
I've created the debian package for SIGAR [1] Python binding. I'd like
to improve it so it could be added to the Debian official repository.
Could you help me?
Our team is being supported by DebianMed [2] to create an offical
package of InVesalius [3], a 3D medical imaging software developed
using Python. Currently the only dependency of InVesalius that is not
available at the Debian official repository is SIGAR. Andreas Tille
suggested we posted a message to this mailing list, so we could solve
this dependency problem.
SIGAR (System Information Gatherer and Reporter) is a cross-platform,
cross-language library and command-line tool for accessing operating
system and hardware level information and has bindings for Python,
Java, Perl and other programming languages.
In order to create the SIGAR debian package, I did the folowing:
1. Checked out the source code from SIGAR trunk (the python binding
didn't work in the other versions)
2. Created a folder "debian" on the source-code folder
3. And then used the "debuild" command
The SIGAR source-code used and the debian folder created are available at [4].
Both i386 and amd64 debian packages are available at InVesalius'
dependencies page [5,6]
Thanks in advance,
Thiago

if you use a not-yet-released-version, then mark it as such in the
version you upload: the version above seems it's the official 1.7.0
while, from what you wrote, it seems you're doing the package from a
SVN snapshot, so use something like 1.7.0~svn<rev number> (information
at [l1])

that's not enough: at least you have to fill all the needed files in
debian/ dir. A usual start is running dh_make, that creates a
templates of several files in debian/ you can customize for the
project at hand.

we need a link to the .dsc file, and in the same location the
orig.tar.gz and .diff.gz should be present so that dget <url to >.dsc
will download all the 3.

These files were inside the folder I mentioned before.

I've just made the file available at:
