Package: python-support Version: 0.3.8 Severity: normal One on my packages (mercurial) need to have a template directory (or symlink) in its python modules directory. Ie, Once installed, I must have: "python_search_path"/mercurial/*.py{,c,o} "python_search_path"/mercurial/templates
Before the new python policy, I installed a symlink for /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mercurial/templates to /usr/share/mercurial/templates as /usr/share/mercurial/templates contains files independant of the python version (html templates, images, css, ...) With the new policy and python-support, my modules end in /var/lib/python-support/$v/mercurial I need to install the symlink in this directory (mercurial does not work if the symlink is not in the same directory as its modules) I tried to add the symlink in /usr/share/python-support/mercurial/mercurial but update-python-modules ignores it. Can you make update-python-modules creating symlink for symlinks (as it does for the other plain files) ? An other solution would have be to move the /usr/share/mercurial/templates directory in /usr/share/python-support/mercurial/mercurial. In this case, update-python-modules would have created symlinks for all individual files. But I really prefer to have the template directory in /usr/share/mercurial/templates. It is a lot more logical with respect to the FSH.
