Fred Drake d0726c3cd9 \file is not allowed in section titles -- converting to PDF fails due to
weird macro-expansion issues.  A better solution may be available in the
future, but this will do for now.

Add an index entry.  More should probably be added as well.

Thomas Heller 904ca11a87 Changes:
distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py:
- the windows installer is again able to compile after installing
  the files. Note: The default has changed, the packager has to
  give --no-target-compile/--no-target-optimize to NOT compile
  on the target system. (Another note: install_lib's --compile
  --optimize options have the same semantics to switch off
  the compilation. Shouldn't the names change?)
- All references to specific python versions are gone.
- A small bug:
    raise DistutilsPlatformError ("...")
  instead of
    raise DistutilsPlatformError, ("...")
- When bdist_wininst creates an installer for one specific python
  version, this is reflected in the name:
    Distutils-0.9.2.win32-py15.exe instead of
    Distutils-0.9.2.win32.exe
- bdist_wininst, when run as script, reads the wininst.exe file
  and rewrites itself. Previously this was done by hand.

misc/install.c
- All the changes needed for compilation
- Deleted a lot of debug/dead code

Fredrik Lundh a249f16af0 Older Tk versions don't support mousewheel support. Set event.delta
to zero if that's the case (closes bug #113727)

Guido van Rossum ebba420285 Oops. Jim's fix didn't. This one does -- I tested it a bit better
this time!

Fred Drake 6300bd42a4 Added note about Python version this was added for. 2000-09-07 14:01:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 77a6c9ece5 Minor markup nits around use of \optional. 2000-09-07 14:00:51 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg f156a44e8c Added Unicode objects to the copy mechanism. Since these are immutable,
they are copied as atomic types.

Tim Peters 627273165d Boost Windows build # to 5 (see new BUILDno.txt). 2000-09-07 08:37:37 +00:00
Tim Peters 553d2a5dc4 Windows installer, reflecting changes that went into a replacement 2.0b1
.exe that will show up on PythonLabs.com later today:
    Include the Lib\xml\ package (directory + subdirectories).
    Include the Lib\lib-old\ directory.
    Include the Lib\test\*.xml test cases (well, just one now).
    Remove the redundant install of Lib\*.py (looks like a stray duplicate
        line that's been there a long time).  Because of this, the new
        installer is a little smaller despite having more stuff in it.

Greg Ward b652897456 Greatly enhanced the section on creating built distributions; in
particular wrote up creating RPMs in detail.
Other scattered improvements.

Guido van Rossum 00c09256d5 Removing this file again to set its status to 'dead'. 2000-09-07 02:02:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c84d8bd7be Simple fix from Jin Fulton to avoid returning a half-initialized
module when e.g. copy_reg.py doesn't exist.  This caused a core dump.

This closes SF bug 112944.
2000-09-07 00:11:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 56db095018 Another typo (in the list comprehension example). 2000-09-06 23:34:25 +00:00

Fred Drake 8b2e8f846c Added a \versionadded statement to the getfqdn() description. 2000-09-06 02:22:16 +00:00
Greg Ward 5fad268ffc Bullet-proofing of 'make_release_tree()':
- 'mkpath()' the distribution dir in case of empty manifest
  - warn if empty manifest
  - detect, warn about, and skip non-regular files in manifest
2000-09-06 02:18:59 +00:00
Greg Ward d3b76a8fbf Reorganized logic in 'get_file_list()' so it's easier to read, and fixed a
bug to boot: now works even if both MANIFEST and MANIFEST.in don't exist.
Don't hardcode setup.py, use 'self.distribution.script_name'.

Greg Ward 6a2035d76b Typo fix. 2000-09-06 02:06:27 +00:00

Fred Drake 239e1d5e50 Fix mkhowto so that the bookmarks for the PDF work for both "howto" and
"manual" class documents.

cvs2svn 4f643ba5db This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag 'r20b1'. 2000-09-05 20:15:25 +00:00
Tim Peters 8b09233f93 Added Windows news. Also repeated 1.6 Windows news since most people getting
2.0b1 for Windows will not have bothered getting 1.6.  Also changed
"Changed, New, Obsolete Tools" to say "None" since nobody had put an entry
there.
2000-09-05 20:15:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7a12ef3479 Added BeOpen support plug. 2000-09-05 20:04:35 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 24c3d6080d All the NEWS that I could finish in 15 minutes (and then some)
Removed some attributions from the shorter entries in Changed Modules,
because that section is so long.

installer.
2000-09-05 17:14:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4f40c2d49c Many changes suggested by Bob Weiner, mostly small grammatical fixes
or other clarifications, with the occasional plug for BeOpen
PythonLabs thrown in.  Also added a trademarks disclaimer.

Jeremy Hylton 3263dc2b15 compromise value for threshold0: not too high, not too low 2000-09-05 15:44:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b1156badb4 The malloc rearrangement was actually already in 1.6. 2000-09-05 15:43:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 830ca2af5a Added readline news. (Skip) 2000-09-05 15:34:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 8bdf0bf705 Fix PDF generation.
The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
metadata stored in the PDF file.  This changes the line break to
a ", " (comma-space) in that context.
2000-09-05 15:19:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 82de71dae8 Minor nit to make this work a little better with the PDF generation fix.
This does not change the HTML or PostScript output.
2000-09-05 15:11:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fa6013cff0 Don't emit 8 lines of (c) information at startup -- use the same text
as main.c.

Guido van Rossum e905e95721 Barry Warsaw: Fixed -+ operator. Added some new sections. Leave some
XXX notes for now.

I could use help here!!!!  Please mail me patches ASAP.  We may have
to put some of this off to 2.0final, but it's best to have it in shape
now...
2000-09-05 12:42:46 +00:00
Tim Peters 87106b58cf Now that I've got real docs, redirect _DOC_ out of the Python 1.6 tree and
to the new docs.
Added a description to the Tcl/Tk file copies.
2000-09-05 06:23:16 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 10912854a2 Sh*t! Should use $(srcdir)/LICENSE of course. 2000-09-05 04:46:32 +00:00

directory.

Guido van Rossum a22865ec44 Instead of printing all 9 lines of copyright info, print
"Type \"copyright\", \"credits\" or \"license\" for more information."
2000-09-05 04:41:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f26cda62b6 The GCC version is loooooooooong; put it on a new line. 2000-09-05 04:40:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d1252395bd Add new builtin commands "copyright", "license", "credits" which
