[Devel]: PR1.2 and QT Dependancy Problem?

Hi, I had some time to update MaeFlight for PR1.2 (in extras-devel). I also just updated my N900 to PR1.2 as well. I noticed that the app manager gives the following as dependancy problems:

Code:

libqt4-test

libqt4-script

MaeFlight is a Python/QT application. The dependancies that I am calling out when packaging are:

Code:

wget, python-dbus, python2.5-qt4, python-suds

Will an additional dependancy on libqt4-core fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Devel]: PR1.2 and QT Dependancy Problem?

Hi,

It s maybe not a good idea to depends on the full PyQt4 bindings. Just made your package depends only on python2.5-qt4-core and python2.5-qt4-gui (instead of python2.5-qt4) if you just use the core and gui module.

The problem is that some qt4 module wasn't include ... but this will be fixed.

Re: [Devel]: PR1.2 and QT Dependancy Problem?

Thank you, Khertan. That seemed to have fixed the issue. MaeFlight is now installable from extras-devel.

Re: [Devel]: PR1.2 and QT Dependancy Problem?

I have a very similar problem. I'm unable to install my package because of a conflict with "python2.5-qt4-gui (4.7-maemo7)"

I already changed the depends section of my package from

Code:

"python2.5, python-osso, python-dbus, python2.5-qt4-sql"

Code:

"python2.5-qt4-core, python2.5-qt4-gui, python-osso, python-dbus, python2.5-qt4-sql"

without success. :(

Edit: Here is the problematic package: DreamRemote

Re: [Devel]: PR1.2 and QT Dependancy Problem?

Okay, I installed now PyQt4 Full Install for PR1.2 from Extra Testing and now it works just fine. :confused:

I thought this kind of problems should be gone with PR1.2?

My package and all depencies are at Extras Testing. What's wrong? :(

Re: [Devel]: PR1.2 and QT Dependancy Problem?

Easy people, Qt dependencies are still being ironed out. The python-qt4 I pushed to extras-testing is the first reference version that should be taken seriously under PR1.2.

Also, as a general rule of thumb with python to which pyqt is no exception - DEPEND ON WHAT YOU IMPORT. If you import QtGui and QtCore, then depend on those two. The python2.5-qt4(-doc) metapackages are for developers and tinkerers, NOT for applications.

Another thing - USE VERSIONED DEPENDENCIES. If you just toss in a generic python2.5-qt4-gui dependency, it does not say what version of Qt you want. So if someone did not upgrade to PR1.2, they might get the old, Qt4.5 version of PyQt4 which of course might not be what you want if your app is developed for Qt4.6.

I'm using the py2deb package builder.
Currently I have this in the build.py:

Code:

p.depends = "python2.5-qt4-core, python2.5-qt4-gui, python-osso, python-dbus, python2.5-qt4-sql"

Former I had this one:

Code:

p.depends = "python2.5, python-osso, python-dbus, python2.5-qt4-sql"

This is the result of a EMail discussion with X-Fade. He helped me a lot, but it's actually also not really working.

As far as I understood you're saying I've done more than one mistake... :confused:

Actually I'm importing this in my code:

Code:

from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore, QtSql

import urllib2

import socket

import dbus

import dbus.glib

import time, threading

from os import path

from os import makedirs

How do I setup the dependancy correctly? :confused:

Re: [Devel]: PR1.2 and QT Dependancy Problem?

If you want to use Qt4.6 features (like stacked windows, orientation, etc), you’re only missing the versions which you can specify like this:

Code:

p.depends = "python2.5-qt4-core (>> 4.7.3-maemo5), python2.5-qt4-gui (>> 4.7.3-maemo5), python-osso, python-dbus, python2.5-qt4-sql (>> 4.7.3-maemo5)"

Your imports otherwise match the dependencies (urllib, socket, time, os, threading are python standard libs so they don’t need additional libraries)
