This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889. It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects. Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.
The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.
XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process. It will need
substantial testing.
* Command method 'find_peer()' -> 'get_finalized_command()'
* Command method 'run_peer()' -> 'run_command()'
Also deleted the 'get_command_option()' method from Command, and
fixed the one place where it was used (in "bdist_dumb").
new flexibility, specifically the 'root' option. Now, we just use
"install" to do a fake installation into a temporary directory
(the 'bdist_dir' option, which derives from the 'bdist_base' option of
"bdist"), and then tar/zip up that directory. This means that dumb
built distributions are now relative to the root directory, rather than
the prefix or exec-prefix; this is probably a feature, but does make
them slightly less flexible.
the command that actually creates "dumb" binary distributions, ie.
tarballs and zip files that you just unpack under <prefix> or <exec-prefix>.
Very limited, but it's a start.
