[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Python deb packages

[From: Teemu Harju]

Hi,

I've been trying to create application installer friendly .deb packages from
Pyhon applications and I'm having problems with getting the symlinks work so
that the application would appear in the extras menu. What I've done is that
I have a directory that contains the python files placed in correct
directories. For example python libraries are in
usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages and executables are in usr/bin. In the same
directory I also have DEBIAN directory that contains "control" and "
package-name.links" files. I've created the .deb package using "dpkg-deb -b"
command for that directory. Package is created just fine and it also
installs on the device and the application works fine, but the symlinks
defined in "package-name.links" don't get created. Am I doing something
wrong? I don't have much experience about Debian packages.

Thanks,

Teemu
