Hi, Top posting here as my only comment is that you can package you Python application on device (e.g. no need for Scratchbox or rootstraps etc) just by installing our Python development environment to the device with maemo-python -device-env meta pacakge.
As described here: http://maemo.org/development/documentation/programming_languages/ Maemo Python development environmet includes standard setup script to create standard installation packages (also integrated to the Maemo PluThon Eclipse IDE)... Maybe pypackager and py2deb have more functionality than standard setup script?

Benoit, I respect your decisions no matter what the reasons are but am really sorry to see you go (if that's the final decision). However, as a member of the PyMaemo project I'm really worried about the fate of the pypackager and py2deb packages which allow for creating deb packages of Python programs without resorting to the use of Scratchbox. The functionality provided by these packages is quite essential to the developer story of the PyMaemo project since we don't want to force prospective PyMaemo developers to install Scratchbox and the full SDK just to have packages created. Also, from the PyMaemo project point of view, it's important to have any relevant packages within the maemo.org infrastructure (although you obviously are free not to do that yourself, this is a volunteer effort). Hence, I'd be very interested in hearing your opinions regarding these packages. Would you think it's OK if we maintained the packages on the extras.* repos? If you are still interested in developing the packages further (at least pypackager, I understood you consider py2deb as deprecated in any case), you could act as upstream to the PyMaemo-maintained packages (and still maintain your own repo if you wish). On the other hand, if you don't feel like working on them any longer, I hope it's all right for you if we just catch the ball and adopt the packages to PyMaemo proper. If that would be the case, would you rather see us do a clean fork (renaming the packages and all) or would it be OK if we just took the ownership of the current projects and carried on from there? In any case, I sincerely appreciate the contributions you've done to maemo.org and PyMaemo. Cheers, ma. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
