[Pythoncard-users] Debian package - finally

[Kenneth P. <pro...@de...>]

I just wanted to let people know that I've finally been able to put
together a Debian package for 0.8.x.  This obviously got held off a long
time, and I apologize for that.  First, there was no suitable 2.5.x
wxWidgets package in Debian.  Then, even though 2.5.3.2 became available
in mid-November, I didn't realize it was there until today.

Anyway, the new package has roughly the same form as the old 0.7.3.1
package did.  The main difference is that you'll have to add a special
wx-2.5.3-gtk2-unicode directory to your $PYTHONPATH to resolve wxPython
properly.  I don't like this, but I don't seem to have an alternative
right now.  See README.Debian for details.

Most everything seems to work, at least from what I've been able to
test.  A few of the samples (worldclock and moderator, in particular)
didn't seem to behave quite properly, but I haven't quantified the
problems as of yet.

As always, please file bug reports using Debian's 'reportbug' tool, and
feel free to write me with questions.  I'll be out-of-town most of the
next two weeks, but I will be able to check my email every few days or
so.

Thanks,

KEN
