For packaging purposes, it would be nice to provide the test suite in the released tarball alongside the package and its documentation.

Cheers,

Hi Ghislain,

For this purpose you could use the full source distribution, available on GitHub:
https://github.com/gnarea/pyrecord/releases

I learned to include as little as possible in the packages I publish on PYPI, after some people pointed out that every byte counts in embedded devices.

I'm planning on using GitHub releases for every release, so it should be fine to rely on them.

If you don't mind, may I ask for which platform you're going to package PyRecord? It's just so that I can point it out in the docs.

Thanks!

Hi Gustavo,

Ok I'll use the Github release instead of the PyPI one.

I am working on a Debian package [1]. I have a working version, which I will update with the documentation and test suite. I'll let you know once the package is accepted.

Cheers,

That's great! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to make your job easier.

I'll close this ticket for the time being.

Thank you!
