something (overridable through Install-command entry)
- Hidden status is now determined by flavor == hidden, not by
missing Download-URL. Hidden packages behave like installer packages.
- Made some error messages a bit more understandable.
Because there's new functionality the version has been upped to 0.5.
- using a different database for non-final releases should only be done
for X.Y.0. Non-final micro releases can use the default database just fine,
as they are required to be backward compatible.
- there were no accessor functions for the global per-database fields
- packages and their dependencies were installed in order in stead
of in reverse order.
donated by Kevin Ollivier. This is now the default downloader.
- Added a watcher mechanism, whereby downloaders and unpackers (and,
later builders) can give status feedback to the user. When running
pimp as a command line tool in verbose mode print this output.
- Try not only "darwin-7.X.Y" but also "darwin-7.X" and "darwin-7",
so far we've never had to create anew database for a minor release.
- Distinguish between the various different installs (user-installed
MacPython, apple-installed MacPython, other).
prefixes, any file that is skipped during a per-user install that matches
this set is *not* an error; Systemwide-only is a boolean that says the
package cannot be installer per-user.
pimp_update if it exists. Upped the version number to indicate this.
Fixes#731626.
- Added -V (print version) and -u (specify database URL) options when run
as a command line tool.
- Allow setting the destination install directory. If this is set then
it is used for the modules, other items (header files, etc) are not
installed, and warnings are printed if the package would have liked to.
Unfortunaltey binary installs seem broken due to a tarfile bug (#721871)
or my misunderstanding of how tarfile works.
- Catch stderr as well as stdout
- Fixed a bug with non-installable packages
- Parse .pth files after installing, so you don't have to restart Python (or
the IDE) after installing.
