Until very recently, most debian systems did not install this metadata. Instead, we rely upon the usual debian dependency checking as expressed in debian/control . --- diff --git a/misc/feisty/debian/rules b/misc/feisty/debian/rules index 5abfddcb..3d669dae 100644 --- a/misc/feisty/debian/rules +++ b/misc/feisty/debian/rules @@ -9,9 +9,21 @@ include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk STAGING_DIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/allmydata-tahoe +# we overwrite the setuptools-generated /usr/bin/allmydata-tahoe with our +# package's original version, because the setuptools form (using "entry +# points") insists upon .egg-info -visible forms of dependent packages to be +# installed.
