CDBS is a framework to help avoid repetitive tasks in Debian packaging.
CDBS is not an aid to skip understanding the art of Debian packaging.
You should know yourself what CDBS was supposed to do for each of the
CDBS snippets you include into your packaging project.
CDBS is not an aid to skip using proper build frameworks. If you write
your Python Distutils file yourself, then please ensure that in fact it
works well on its own, before applying another framework on top of it.
CDBS may or may not work on Ubuntu. Ubuntu has a track record of
breaking compatibility with Debian, Python compatibility being a
concrete example. We are quite happy if CDBS works on Ubuntu (we are
not enemies) but if you run into problems then please try verify if
problems persist on a Debian system, and if not then consult Ubuntu
about them.
NB! Please post to the bugreport only, not cc me personally.
Kind regards,
- Jonas
