Also, thanks for mentioning DEP-5 and dh 7; there are a lot of powerful tools that are not well known enough.

One added advantage of creating a deb directly is that you control dependencies – and there is more than enough documentation on how to do this in debian/control

BEST SOLUTION
Change to Archlinux
complete next template http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_Package_Guidelines
put in command line
“makepkg”
then install with
“pacman -U python-foo-ver-rel.pkg.tar.xz”

@Hernan

Hi!
You should take a look at debsign(1) which is used to sign a Debian changes and dsc file pair using GPG/PGP.
It is provided by the devscripts package.

hi
I made some debian packages in the past but not signed. I would like to know if it is posible to sign the packages without having to make them again.
Thanks

My head is starting to spin slightly after reading up some tutorials on Debian packaging. I’m a Debian user for 7 – 8 years and I’m writing a Python script. I simply want to package it without any fuss…

However, all this is so very confusing… Why not simply automate distutils to create a .deb package like it does with .rpm?

I guess after reading so MANY tutorials I am still not sure which is the right way to package for Debian?

Hello Bruno,

I’m glad the tutorial helped you.

dh_testroot simply checks to see if you are root. If not, it exits with an error.

To prevent this error, you can use fakeroot:
$ fakeroot ./debian/rules clean

Hope this helps,
