This is a skeleton for building packages for Maemo 4.1, Maemo 5, Meego-1.2-Harmattan, and eventually MeeGo.

For some background:

• http://eopage.blogspot.com/2011/08/python-packaging-for-harmattan.html

The main git home for src/utils is: https://github.com/epage/PythonUtils

Depends on (I just copy it into my project):

• https://gitorious.org/sdist_maemo/sdist_maemo

Setting up a project

grep for REPLACEME which is scattered throughout the files.

grep --color -Irn "REPLACEME" .

To find files that need renaming

find . -iname "*REPLACEME*"

Create your appropriately named python package (and ln src to it for easy diffing)

mv src REPLACEME
ln -s REPLACEME src

Update support/obs_upload.sh with your OBS project path

Examples Packages:

• https://github.com/epage/ejpi
• https://github.com/epage/Gonvert

Building a package

Run

make package
make upload

Build Process

The makefile generate the following

• setup.PLATFORM.py
• data/PLATFORM/PROJECT.desktop
• data/icons/ICON_SIZES/PROJECT.png

setup.PLATFORM.py then creates a source package

For Ubuntu, the Makefile then creates a binary package

Uploading process

dput is used for uploading Diablo and Fremantle packages

OSC is used for uploading Harmattan packages

Maemo Garage's git integration is used for distribution the Ubuntu binary package
