A piece of unsolicited advice: don't. /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and their ilk should be left to the operating system vendor. /opt or /usr/local can be used for add-on software, depending on how pedantic you want to be about following the guidelines of whatever operating system you're using.

If you're making a Debian package, then why don't you move the scripts in debian/rules ?

Because Distutils should be able to do Debian packages natively? -- Mark W. Alexander slash@dotnetslash.net

I'm not sure that this is assertion is true. And even if it were, the fact is that Distutils is not able to do so. If you need help in building a Debian package, or a python tool please ask. I'll be happy to help. -- Alexandre Fayolle LOGILAB, Paris (France). http://www.logilab.com http://www.logilab.fr http://www.logilab.org Advanced computing - Python - Customized trainings - Consulting - XML

I do, although it's offtopic for distutils (sorry). I'd like to develop a patch which enables the python-rpm extension to the Debiant rpm package, so I can forward it to the rpm maintainer. I have complex reasons for needing this (well not that complex; a Debian system happens to be the host for a set of rpm packages for which I want to enable fetching via yum. yum-arch requires the python rpm extension.) He's had a number of requests for this, but doesn't know python. Meanwhile, I don't know the debian packaging system, and my pass at it didn't work out right at all. Any takers? Mats
