To make a Buildbot package that will run on Debian Sarge, you will need the build-essential package from sarge and debhelper >= 5.0 from backports.org. Then download and unpack the source:
wget \ http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/b/buildbot/buildbot_0.7.5.orig.tar.gz \ http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/b/buildbot/buildbot_0.7.5-1.1.dsc \ http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/b/buildbot/buildbot_0.7.5-1.1.diff.gz dpkg-source -x buildbot_0.7.5-1.1.dsc cd buildbot-0.7.5
Patch the control file, either using my patch or make the changes manually:
From the Build-Depends line,
remove python-central and remove the version specifiers from python
and python twisted. It should look something like
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5.0.37.1), python, python-twisted, texinfo.
From the Depends line, remove all the python-twisted-* entries and
replace them with python-twisted.
It should end up looking like
Depends: ${python:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, python-twisted, adduser.
Also remove the XS-Python and XB-Python lines, otherwise dh_python
won't do its thing.
Patch the rules file. Simply replace dh_pycentral
with dh_python.
Finally, build and install the package using whatever method you prefer; fakeroot debian/rules binary or debuild -uc -us, then dpkg -i ../buildbot_0.7.5-1.1_all.deb.
