source tarball for building packages?

[alexmyczko]

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

I'm aware of your message, but how hard would it be to create proper source tarballs?

What do you mean by proper source tarballs ? There is a source archive (Python sdist) on PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/mpdaf/#files).

[alexmyczko]

true will try that 60 mb source tarball. sorry for the noise

[saimn]

Yes it's quite big, because it contains some test files.

[alexmyczko]

looks much better, if you want to hint me why it fails? https://sid.ethz.ch/debian/mpdaf/mpdaf_3.5-1_amd64.build

[saimn]

It could be the version of cython, which one are you using ?

[alexmyczko]

root@sid:~# cython3 --version
Cython version 0.29.21

[saimn]

Ok, I think I know: the lib/mpdaf/obj/merging.c was generated with an older version of Cython, which doesn't work with Python 3.9. Could you try to delete this file? It would then be generated again with your recent Cython.

[alexmyczko]

updated https://sid.ethz.ch/debian/mpdaf/mpdaf_3.5-1_amd64.build

[saimn]

Much better ! For the test failure, it seems that __version__ is None, which could happen if you didn't installed the package ? Not sure what is the process for Debian packaging. The version is determined with pkg_resources from the metadata created in site-packages when installing the package.

[alexmyczko]

Ah, so I disabled the tests, and we've got Debian packages, Ubuntu, Devuan, Raspberry or any deb based distro can have that packages. Ok they need some more improvement, but other than that, an easy way to install/remove/upgrade for mpdaf.

[alexmyczko]

https://mentors.debian.net/package/mpdaf/ looks much better, care to fix those manpage typos listed there?

[saimn]

@alexmyczko - Sure, but it's not clear to me what needs to be fixed.

[saimn]

Ok, done. So you are building the whole documentation as a manpage ?

[alexmyczko]

Well for the moment yes as manpages are a should exist for Debian but I should probably also build some other formats...
