how to package trac modules?

Hi,

I'm trying to create packages of trac plugins at least
for local use (Account manager, web admin).

what is the best way to handle these?

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracPlugins
tells me they use ez_setup.py, but the whole automatic download stuff
is the opposite of the traditional debian way with orig.tar.gz.

also trac wants *.egg files in /usr/share/trac/plugins,
that seems to be very far off the debian python policy.

has anyone already looked into trac plugins? what is the best way to
handle these?

thanks for your help!

Regards, Andreas

Hi Andreas,

You may want to take a look at stdeb "Python to Debian source package
conversion utility" http://stdeb.python-hosting.com/

Maybe we should make explicit in the policy that eggs must not be
shipped. They will happily ignored by python-{support,central} anyway.

You have to ship eggs in an unpacked format, with the .egg-info
directory. This way, they will be correctly handled.
