It seems that dh-virtualenv is not available on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal)

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&keywords=dh-virtualenv&searchon=names

Do you know why and if there is any alternative?

Thank you.

After making some less or more hacky changes, it is possible to build dh-virtualenv for Ubuntu 20.04:

dh-virtualenv_1.2~dev-1_amd64_ubuntu_focal.zip

I've also added a GitHub Action so it is posible to build DEB through GitHub itself.

You can just use sid's version, since it is not platform-dependent.

zapotah commented

python2 is EOL so will dh-virtualenv be ported to python3 or is there an alternative?

grossmj commented

Now that a Debian package can be built with python3, thanks to #300, can we expect a new dh-virtualenv release soon? and maybe a backport to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?

Thanks :)

Hey @nailor, thanks for your hard work on dh-virtualenv! It'd be great to have a Focal package available for installation. Until that package is posted, folks might find the following workaround helpful:

cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-unstable.list
Package: *
Pin: release a=focal
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1
EOF

echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-unstable.list
apt-get install -y debian-archive-keyring
ln -s /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
apt-get update && apt-get install -y dh-virtualenv

fyi dh-virtualenv is in groovy now, https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/dh-virtualenv which ubuntu users may prefer to use

It's been in groovy for a while, nevertheless would be nice to have it available also in the last LTS (Focal).

My vote is on focal too, as it will be the latest LTS for a while. I'd say this issue shouldn't be closed yet, as a package for focal is the original question in this issue.

fizbin commented

I see it at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+package/dh-virtualenv - it is indeed in focal right now, today.

arjan-s commented

Weird... I can't install it, and it also doesn't show here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=focal&keywords=dh-virtualenv&searchon=names

graingert commented

@nailor can you push out a new version to the PPA?

nailor commented

Hi,

so unfortunately I no longer have access to the PPA mentioned, since I left Spotify about a year ago, and have no access to my Spotify email anymore (which in turn makes it impossible for me to upload to the said PPA). Happy to spin up a new one though.

lord2y commented

@nailor I'm willing to shadow you in the process to have a bit of redundancy on this if you wanted to.

nailor commented

The package should be available here https://launchpad.net/~jyrki-pulliainen/+archive/ubuntu/dh-virtualenv

@conorsch hope this helps!

@nailor ah amazing thanks - I'm currently still stuck on xenial looking to upgrade to focal. Could you please make a 1.2.2 release for xenial and bionic on this ppa? so I can move my packages to the new dh-virtualenv then the rest of ubuntu?

nailor commented

@graingert Definitely! Xenial is up and Bionic should be any moment now 😊

Small disclaimer though: I don't guarantee it actually works on Xenial. It should I think, but I have not tested.
