Greg Ward a68c93ac89 Patch from Harry Henry Gebel:
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.

Greg Ward 4227dc1b15 Removed the 'ensure_*' methods -- they're just too handy too keep in one
command class, so they're now in the Command base class.

Greg Ward c4c06af575 Patch from Harry Henry Gebel: fixes a bit of code that slipped by my
overhaul last night.

Greg Ward efbd071016 Only print debugging output if DEBUG true. 2000-06-02 02:01:51 +00:00
Greg Ward 673925842e Ditched the obsolete '_get_package_data()' method and its
'_check_*()' helpers.

Greg Ward 1259392b38 Fairly massive overhaul to support getting RPM inputs (extra meta-data,
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()'

Greg Ward 01a4694dce More tweaking to make this command act like other Distutils commands:
* 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

Greg Ward 69413da749 Regularize options a bit:
* 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')

Greg Ward 4fb29e55f8 Some far-reaching naming changes:
* 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").

Gregory P. Smith 86ee81e34b Contribution from Harry Henry Gebel: the 'bdist_rpm' command.
(Completely uninspected and untested by me, this is just to
get the code into CVS!)
