[oi-dev] How to combine two source archives into one OI package?

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

Hello,

On the website pkg.opendiana.org I entered "pycairo" in Package Search.

This results in some packages like :

library/python-2/pycairo 
library/python-2/pycairo-26 
library/python/pycairo 
library/python/pycairo-26
library/python/pycairo-27
library/python/pycairo-34 
library/python/pycairo-35

Those are distinct IPS packages not versions of the same IPS package.

Without knowing the details of the python Makefile rules, I think the manifests

./pycairo/pycairo-PYVER.p5m
./pycairo/pycairo-GENFRAG.p5m

the PYVER is somehow replaced by the Python Version that is targeted.

So producing a 37 or 39 package could produce a different package without obsoleting the old package,
and perhaps using a "mediator" it is possible to deliver the same file in two different IPS packages.

The mediator in this case could be the python mediator ?

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the python build framework, but if you search/grep for mediator,
there are many examples.

For example

grep mediator */*.p5m

setuptools/setuptools-PYVER.p5m:link path=usr/bin/easy_install target=easy_install-$(PYVER) mediator=python \

So the symbolic link /usr/bin/easy_install is set to the target easy_install-35 or easy_install-37 or whathever the mediator python indicates.

Regards,
David Stes
