[Sugar-devel] Multiversion Packages of toolkit.

[James Cameron]

You neglected to mention that you are asking about Debian and Ubuntu
binary packages.  Ubuntu packages come from Debian unchanged, so your
question can be reduced to Debian packaging.

We're the wrong people to ask.  It's not a skill any of us at Sugar
Labs have, otherwise we would have done it by now.

The people who know how to do this are Debian and Ubuntu package
developers.

I've tried asking one of the Debian developers but they were too busy
to give private assistance.  Private assistance does not scale, so the
return on investment is meagre.

I suggest you try these things;

1.  write a throw-away script to download all Debian packages that
depend on Python 2 or Python 3, intersect a union of source packages
that support both versions, and then list those packages that contain
configure.ac in the source package,

2.  review those Debian and Ubuntu source packages that are used to
generate binary packages for both Python 2 and Python 3, and list the
package design patterns that you observe,

3.  contact the Debian developers using their mailing lists, or other
methods,

4.  engage in the Debian project by reporting a bug that asks for
packaging of a new version of the toolkit; currently 0.112 is
packaged.
