[Distutils] How to build Debian packages (answer)

April 25, 2000

      Hello,

  heres is the thing I do to build Debian packages:

  [Makefile snippet] install: ./setup.py install --prefix=/tmp/usr
  --exec-prefix=/tmp/usr cp -a /tmp/usr/* $(DESTIDR)/usr # install misc
  additional files install -c -m 755 linkchecker $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin ...

  Yes, its a hack, but it works.
