Half-fixed RPM 2 compatibility:added 'rpm_base' option, which must be set
(to eg. /usr/src/redhat on a stock Red Hat system) if rpm2_mode is on.
Still not quite working, though.
Fills in question marks in help
Reads scripts in from files rather than strings
Adds RPM 2 compatibility mode (untested). Use of this mode requires that
--bdist-base be specified because bdist_rpm has no way of detecting where
RPM wants to find spec files and source files. An unmodified RedHat 5.0
system would require '--bdist-base=/usr/src/RedHat'. (You would also have
to be root.) If the rpmrc file has been modified to allow RPMs to be built
by normal users then --build-base would need to be changed accordingly.
Formats the changelog.
GPW: tweaked formatting, added some editorial comments.
- 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.
