Subject: python2.X/3.X-dev ships windows binaries which are not built at build time

Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 23:04:53 +0200

Package: python2.6
Severity: serious

All python*-dev packages ship windows installer commands in their
distutils module, which are not being rebuilt at build time, at least I
was not able to find any trace in the logs.

Even worse on the first look there doesn't seem to be a way to compile
these files under linux at all.

This is a violation of the Debian policy 2.2.1 and it was obviously
ignored by the maintainer as he acknoledges the existance of those files
in the changelog of python2.6 (2.6.2-1) and by adding a patch to point
users to the -dev package.

Hello

You just have to run
find -name '*.exe' -delete
in the source tree.

Attached is a patch for automatic fix of original tarball.

I've upload that version on mentors too, for RC fix NMU:

This confirms that the files in question are unbuildable in Debian, 
which is what this bug is about.

there is nothing in policy which forces the removal of these files in the source
package for this case.
