Is Django available as a .deb install anywhere?

[saracen]

Or should I just use the website install? The reason i'm asking is because i'd like to have a good way to uninstall it. Would python setup.py uninstall work?

You might be able to install checkinstall
sudo aptitude install checkinstallwhich then makes a debian files and then run
sudo checkinstall -D setup.pyMight not work but then again it might aswell.

Installing alien to convert .rpm to deb packages is always a good idea.


sudo apt-get install alien

Then run alien on the RPM of your choice.


alien yourrpm.rpm

I found RPMs for Django, so you may want to give installing them a shot.

cool, i converted an rpm using alien. Any ideas why the conversion alone has to be done as root?

[hyper7]

No luck with Django and alien?

EDIT: Someone tried to answer your question about having to use 'sudo with alien on your thread in the Edgy Dev section.

You seem oddly paranoid.

[saracen]

Not oddly paranoid. Anytime something asks me for sudo priveleges I question why. I read the response on the other thread but it didn't really answer my question. I just don't see the need for it if all it is doing is a file conversion.

You can also use fakeroot instead of sudo which will not require your root password. Just apt-get it :

sudo apt-get install fakeroot

Then use fakeroot with alien :

fakeroot alien my_rpm_package.rpm
