Created attachment 22267 [details] [review] as committed into openbsd the wscripts in that are being shipped with telepathy-butterfly, are incompatible with waf 1.5.2, hence causing the build to fail. this was fixed in openbsd ports recently by rewriting some parts of the wscripts. patches were done by Landry Breuil (landry@openbsd.org).
Thanks for your patch. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about waf. While skimming the patch, I have one question: + obj.install_path = os.path.join('/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/butterfly', loc) This appears to hardcode the prefix to /usr/local/. Is there no way to make that more customisable?
Waf isn't great at all.. Maybe we should just move to something more appropriate like distutils..
see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233948 it seems to build .pyo/.pyc files.. but does not install them...
(In reply to comment #2) > something more appropriate like distutils.. Note that telepathy-python just moved from distutils to autotools, because we've had at least two broken releases in which distutils inexplicably omitted a file from the tarball. I would not recommend distutils.
