Hi there, I maintain the Debian package of pymsnt. I recently found the utnubu service that displays the differences between Debian packages and their counterparts in Ubuntu. I looked up pymsnt and saw that you're patching the code like so:
diff -Nur pymsnt-0.11.2/src/main.py pymsnt-0.11.2.new/src/main.py --- pymsnt-0.11.2/src/main.py 2006-10-18 14:40:55.000000000 +1000 +++ pymsnt-0.11.2.new/src/main.py 2007-04-05 10:14:37.000000000 +1000 @@ -390,7 +390,10 @@ # Set SIGHUP to reload the config file & close & open debug file signal.signal(signal.SIGHUP, SIGHUPstuff) # Load some scripts for PID and daemonising - from twisted.scripts import twistd + try: + from twisted.scripts import _twistd_unix as twistd + except: + from twisted.scripts import twistd def main(): Could someone please let me know what the purpose of this patch is? In addition it would be nice if you could push changes upstream to the maintainer of the Debian package and to the original upstream developers, so that other users of Debian, Debian-derived distributions and other distributions can benefit from them. :) Regards, -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078
