[Debian-olpc-devel] python-xklavier -- Python bindings for libxklavier

[Jonas Smedegaard]

I have now released the package.

The packaging completely failed to build at first, indicating that you 
also didn't actually try that recently: python-autotools builds for all 
available Python variants using recently implemented multiflavor support 
in CDBS, which in turn requires DEB_BUILDDIR explicitly set (as subdirs 
of that is used for each flavor build, and if using srcdir as builddir 
then those subdirs might exist already and lead to all sorts of 
problems).

Also, you explicitly declared a package dependency on libxklavier15 in 
addition to the auto-resolved shlibs dependency which would create a 
dependency on the newer libxklavier16 - it is highly unlikely that both 
would be available at runtime, causing the package to be uninstallable.

I fixed those and did some other improvements, including adding a 
pristine-tar branch and re-adding upstream source to fill that.

Hope it is ok woth you that I these myself.  Have a look at the git log 
and ask if any of the changes does not make sense to you, or if you 
can't figure out how I did them.

Also, if you did compile and succeeded doing so, then you are not using 
up-to-date Debian unstable.  When preparing packages for official Debian 
use you really should be an unstable system as development platform.  
Either by using that platform yourself or (preferrably) using a chroot.

Tell me if you need help setup a chroot.  I have some scripts that eases 
bootstrapping that, but they might not be fully self-explanatory...



Kind regards,

  - Jonas
