Unfortunately things are a little complicated upstream. Normally, a Python source distribution provides a setup.py script. You run "python setup.py install" and the script should build and install everything where it belongs. This also generates and installs the egg-info for the package. In this case, the PySide source distribution[1] is composed of subpackages, pyside, pyside-tools, and shiboken. It contains not only the Python package, but also C++ libraries and header files, command line tools and more. The subpackages are also available separately in own source distributions. The content of these separate source distributions is the same as the content of the sub directories in the top level distribution. Building is controlled using cmake. The top level source provides a setup.py script, but the separate source distributions of the subpackages do not contain one. The openSUSE packages python-pyside and python-pyside-shiboken in Factory and 13.2 (and python-pyside-tools in KDE:Qt) are based on the respective subpackage source distribution. Since there is no setup.py, they call cmake and make directly. This installs everything nicely in the right place, but doesn't bother creating the egg-info. If one takes the top level source distribution instead and runs the setup.py, this does create and install the egg-info. But it screws up most of the rest: libraries and header files are placed in the wrong location (in the Python package dir in %{python_sitearch}), other stuff is not installed at all. So the result of this approach is basically unusable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is based on the PySide top level source distribution and builds all three subpackages, python-pyside, python-pyside-shiboken, and python-pyside-tools from one source package rather then each of them individually from the respective subpackage source distribution. The toplevel setup.py is used only to build the egg-info. All the rest is built and installed by calling cmake and make directly in the respective subpackage directory. This is a rather radical change compared to the packages from KDE:Qt that are in Factory. So, I'm not sure whether you like it. Please tell me if you want me to submit my version.
