[15:17] <dalist> hello
[15:17] <dalist> I had a question
[15:18] <dalist> does launchpad allow preinst scripts ?
[15:22] <tomreyn> i don't actually know, but it seems very likely, since most ubuntu packages are built there. what makes you think it might not?
[15:22] <dalist> because a preinst script might contain malicious code in it
[15:23] <tomreyn> i guess that's one of the reasons why builds take place in containers.
[15:24] <tomreyn> now i really wonder what motivated your question in the first place?
[15:25] <dalist> because I've never seen a package perform a preinst script before installing
[15:25] <dalist> and I need to use a script to install some python modules
[15:26] <dalist> it has worked when I've built the package
[15:26] <dalist> but I'm not sure if it will work when launchpad builts it
[15:26] <dalist> builds*
[15:34] <tomreyn> hmm, maybe ask a support question as discussed on the topic
[15:34] <tomreyn> (i don't know the answer to your question, i'm afraid)
[15:35] <tomreyn> or just have a look at how siumilar packages build, and their build logs.
[15:36] <dalist> thanks
[15:36] <dalist> may I ask one more question ?
[15:37] <dalist> how do I debuild a python3 script I've written ?
[15:38] <dalist> %:
[15:38] <dalist>  dh $@ --with python3
[15:39] <dalist> I have these two lines which I found somewhere, I tried uploading the source code, but it didn't compile correctly and returned an error
[15:40] <dalist> by the way, these two lines are included in debian/rules
