still need an answer

Thanks Chris Oliver, that solved my question.

> The source is included in the download. The linux folder is all python scripts not compiled so that is why I did not package a separate source package just yet.

Well I wanted to take a shot in packaging it for Ubuntu/Debian, and Debian does not allow binaries in the original source package. I would have to split the linux folder from the source each time. But thanks, good to know that it will be done in the future. :)

Cheers!

Great, maybe you can give me some pointers then for building a source package for each release. I'd like to learn how to do it as well and then we could probably script it for easy packaging each new release. :) Cheers!

Hm.. I'm still a newcomer concerning programming and packaging, but you are using setup.py with distutils, right?

a) To make a source package, you execute: python setup.py sdist
b) You also need a MANIFEST file to tell setup.py which files to package with a source package.

That's all I needed in order to make a simple source package. Perhaps it could suit you as an example:
- Source code: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~surl/surl/trunk/files
- Downloads: https://launchpad.net/surl/+download

I'm using setup.py but it's only for py2exe support in order to build the
Windows executable. I've not looked into building a Debian package with
distutils yet. I'm going to make sure the next release will be much better
for packaging. :)

Thanks again!

Hey Savvas,

We just packaged a new release and included a purely source package for download now as we will with all future releases. :)
