Subject: ddd: pydb "binary" missing in distribution

Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 18:41:46 +0200

Package: ddd
Version: 3.1.5-4
Severity: normal

The python support is compiled into ddd but the inferior-debugger
is missing.  I downloaded the source and installed the files from
the pydb directory by hand and now it is working. 

files to install:
pydb.py        as pydb in /usr/bin
pydbcmd.py     in /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages
pydbsupt.py    in /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages
Release        in /usr/{share/}doc/ddd (under some name)
Notes          in /usr/{share/}doc/ddd (under some name)

Things to add to the installscripts:

postinstall:
python -O /usr/lib/python1.5/compileall.py -q $PYINSTALLDIR
python /usr/lib/python1.5/compileall.py -q $PYINSTALLDIR

prerm:
dpkg --listfiles ddd |
        awk '$0~/\.py$/ {print $0"c\n" $0"o"}' |
        xargs rm -f >&2


(this is simplified sniplets from the python-gtk scripts.)
It should be properly shielded from non-existant python etc.

In my opinion, the proper place for the Python inferior debugger is in a
package of its own, built from its real upstream source. I'm not a Python
user, so having this built from the DDD source package would not be a good
idea.

wnpp, plase add pydb (the Python Debugger),

We have such a package now, and as of yesterday's upload, DDD has a
dependency relation to it, so I consider this problem fixed.
