Allow for including pip packages in source tar
slaclau opened this issue · comments
Packages build with dh_virtualenv cannot be uploaded to Launchpad ppas as they require network access to pypi at build time. I have worked around this by downloading wheels before building my source and passing —no-index
and —find-links
to pip. Unfortunately this causes pip install .
to fail. I get around this by building a wheel before building the source and passing —skip-install
, followed by pip install pkgname.whl
.The shebangs in any executables then need fixing as they have absolute paths in them from my build machine.
