Guy,
I know nothing about python other than what it is. I need to install repoview-0.6.5 on my arch server, but I'm not sure where. Looking at the other python apps like cairo, FusionIcon, etc.. thay seem to be installed as a subdirectory to:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
The repoview directory contains:
drwxr-xr-x 3 david david 4096 Feb 19 13:31 templates -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 3457 Feb 19 13:31 ChangeLog -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 18009 Mar 3 2005 COPYING -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 708 Jul 19 2007 README -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 2634 Sep 27 2007 repoview.8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 david david 32932 Feb 19 13:31 repoview.py
Do I just move the directory to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/? Then is there something else I need to do to "register" (for lack of better words) repoview somewhere so python knows it is there? Then what about the man page? Anything special required to do I just move it to /usr/share/man or /usr/local/man?
You should use makepkg for it unless you are doing it in virtualenv. There already is a PKGBUILD for repoview in aur. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35377
