[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

Ken,

Thanks for that. As soon as everything I own clears customs (we've just 
moved from the UK to Australia) and gets delivered to my new house I'll 
fire up my Debian box and check it out.

Of course after three months or so off the 'net I'm imagining that the 
apt-get upgrade may take a little while first ;-)

Regards,
Andy

Gulp! I'd better extract the digit and see about getting the Mandrake RPMs 
updated, then....

Heh.   I hadn't realized anyone was slower than me.  :-)

All I'm seeing is .7.3.1 even in unstable. Am I missing something?

It always takes a few days for things to propogate out to the various
mirrors after I upload.  As of today, I see the correct version in
unstable:

   http://packages.debian.org/pythoncard

Let me know if you still have problems.

I'm getting a dependency on wxPython2.4 that I should not be seeing. If I
install 2.4 I get that I am not using 2.5.3 which is also installed.

Did you read README.Debian or NEWS?  You have to set $PYTHONPATH to get
the correct version of wxPython. I also mentioned this in my original
note to the list.  I wish there was another way, but there isn't,
because the 2.5.3 version of wxPython is installed in a non-standard
location.

Oops. No I didn't and should have. Thanks. Things seem to be working now.

Ok, good.  I'm glad to hear that.  Now that it's generally working, let
me know if you see anything else strange.

Thanks,

KEN
