Just an open question, since it's headed on 4am here in NJ, at what point do the amount of bug/issues make someone retract a release? (I'm not going to, I think honestly it works sort of well) or do I carry on as I have in -devel and fix-release++? and try to get a new version into -testing as fast as possible and vote down this one?

IIRC it gets demoted on either -10 or if the maintainer thumbs it down.

I currently use py2deb, then extras-assistant. I have to look at your approach

to increment version and add changelog entry. And that does not and should not do anything to the control file. Only changelog.

to create the files for extras i do a
dpkg-buildpackage -sn -S

I used a build.py file I found while doing research on py2deb it currently it looks like this (notice the bugtracker change? :), but when I place a carriage return in the description, python complains.

Use \n or triple-quotes.

s = """one
two
three"""

s = "one\ntwo\nthree"

I've done some work in packaging ansela. Get those two:

ansela.tgz and debian.tgz.

The first is a slightly modified version of ansela. Use diff to see changes. The second is a proper debian/ directory that installs ansela using cdbs.

How it works:

Develop in the directory where ansela.tgz is expanded. No need to store files in predefined directories.
When creating a new release, change the version in setup.py and run ./sdist
Create a new directory (e.g. 1.0) and copy dist/ansela.X-Y.tar.gz in there.
Link ansela.X-Y.tar.gz to ansela_X.Y.orig.tar.gz
Unpack ansela.X-Y.tar.gz.
Go to the extracted directory (e.g. ansela-0.9) and unpack the debian.tgz.
Issue "dch -i" and add a proper comment. Don't forget to change the version from the entry you're changing and include your true name.
Issue "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot"

This should leave you with a .deb, a .changes, a .dsc, etc... in the parent directory.

Using this method you will not depend on py2deb which (in my experience) will cause you a lot of pain. You will be able to change the debian/* files as you wish. In fact, the included debian.tgz needs some work in there (your full name, etc...)

If you create a garage project with svn I can commit those changes there directly.

Not a real bug, but a little bit irritating - in verson 0.9-1 the "photo browser search location" does not remember the setting of including memory card after closing ansel-a.

Wow, thanks v13,
I have a garage project here https://garage.maemo.org/projects/ansela/

I have to take a look at this, thanks so much for your help. packaging is quite a new concept for me.

I need to figure out the correct way to write a config file in python; since I'd rater not just have a .txt file with a value sitting in it. otherwise, I'm going to just create an xml file and parse the xml.
