@MarijnS95 you wrote most of the current windows implementation. Would you be able to check what is required to update to windows-core 0.53?

@MarijnS95 thanks for the quick reply. It would be great if you can take a look when you are back.

@Kijewski your thoughts sound reasonable and I'd support your approach. I rarely develop on Windows and so it would be great if you and @MarijnS95 could shepherd this through.

I sent you an invite to become a maintainer for this stdeb repo. Another maintainer, @dirk-thomas, was also heavily involved in ROS in case you two want to check notes....

@nuclearsandwich PyPI should now also have sent you an invite to be a maintainer of https://pypi.org/project/stdeb/ . Thanks much to you and the ROS team past and present for maintaining...

In terms of previous art, I note that the Enthought enstaller appears to have [something like this](http://code.enthought.com/projects/enstaller/).

Sorry, markdown gobbled some important missing characters. The file to create is: ``` debian/.postinst ``` I have updated my entry above to reflect this, but am making a new comment...

I'm not sure what's going wrong for you. I just verified that it works for me. I created a file called debian/python-svgstack.postinst: ``` #!/bin/bash echo "HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" ``` And then build...

If you do: ``` dpkg-deb -e python-mypackage_0.0.1-1_all.deb ``` And then look in the DEBIAN directory, is there a postinst file and if so, what are its contents?
