- Use TickCount() in stead of LMGetTicks()
- Don't use xxxGetFile event filter
- Don't call SystemTask or HandleSysWindowEvent (is this also automatically handled under os9??)
- Don't scan event queue for cmd-. (to be fixed at some point).
prep/build/etc. scripts, doc files, dependency info) from a config file
rather than the dedicated "package_info" file. (The idea is that
developers will provide RPM-specific info in the "[bdist_rpm]" section of
setup.cfg, but of course it could also be supplied in the other config
files, on the command line, or in the setup script -- or any mix of the
above.)
Major changes:
* added a boatload of options to 'user_options' and
'initialize_options()': 'distribution_name', 'group', 'release', ...
* added 'finalize_package_data()', which takes the place of
'_get_package_data()' -- except it's called from 'finalize_options()',
not 'run()', so we have everything figured out before we actually run
the command
* added 'ensure_string()', 'ensure_string_list()', 'ensure_filename()';
these take the place of '_check_string()' and friends. (These actually
look like really useful type-checking methods that could come in handy
all over the Distutils; should consider moving them up to Command and
using them in other command classes' 'finalize_options()' method for
error-checking).
* various cleanup, commentary, and adaptation to the new way of
storing RPM info in '_make_spec_file()'
This patch correct bounds checking in PyLong_FromLongLong. Currently, it does
not check properly for negative values when checking to see if the incoming
value fits in a long or unsigned long. This results in possible silent
truncation of the value for very large negative values.
* added "--bdist-base" option to parameterize where we build
the RPM (comes from "bdist" by default: "build/bdist.<plat>")
* simplified/cleaned up some code in 'run()' in the process of
removing (most) hard-coded directory names
* if "--spec-only", drop spec file in "dist" rather than "redhat"
(directory name still hard-coded, though)
* use 'reinitialize_command()' to fetch the "sdist" object to
tweak before running "sdist" command
* use 'self.copy_file()' method rather than 'copy_file()' function
* cosmetic tweaks to comments, error messages
* help strings start with lowercase
* added affirmative version of '--no-clean' and '--no-rpm-opt-flags',
which are the default (thus the attributes that correspond to
the options are now 'clean' and 'use_rpm_opt_flags')
setup script) to be a list of Extension instances, rather than a list of of
(ext_name, build_info) tuples. This is mostly a simplification, but
'check_extension_list()' got a lot more complicated because of the need to
convert the old-style tuples to Extension instances.
Temporarily dropped support for defining/undefining macros in the
'extensions' list -- I want to change the interface, but haven't yet made
the required changes in CCompiler and friends to support this nicely.
Also neatened up the code that merges 'extra_compile_flags' and the CFLAGS
environment variable.
Added 'reinitialize_command()' -- lets us "push" option values in
a controlled, safe way; this is a small change to the code, but
a big change to the Distutils philosophy of passing option values
around. The preferred mode is still definitely to "pull" options
from another command (eg. "install" fetches the base build directory
from "build"), but it is now feasible to "push" options onto another
command, when you know what's best for it. One possible application
will be a "config" command, which pokes around the system and pushes
values (eg. include and library directories) onto the "build" command.
Added 'dump_option_dicts()' method (for debugging output).
