<h1>Wrap up of the distutils2 paris' sprint</h1>
|
|
<p class="date">Published on Tue 08 February 2011</p>
|
|
<p>Finally, thanks to a bunch of people that helped me to pay my train and bus
|
|
tickets, I've made it to paris for the distutils2 sprint.</p>
|
|
<p>They have been a bit more than 10 people to come during the sprint, and it was
|
|
very productive. Here's a taste of what we've been working on:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>the <cite>datafiles</cite>, a way to specify and to handle the installation of files which
|
|
are not python-related (pictures, manpages and so on).</li>
|
|
<li><cite>mkgcfg</cite>, a tool to help you to create a setup.cfg in minutes (and with funny
|
|
examples)</li>
|
|
<li>converters from setup.py scripts. We do now have a piece of code which
|
|
reads your current <cite>setup.py</cite> file and fill in some fields in the <cite>setup.cfg</cite>
|
|
for you.</li>
|
|
<li>a compatibility layer for distutils1, so it can read the <cite>setup.cfg</cite> you will
|
|
wrote for distutils2 :-)</li>
|
|
<li>the uninstaller, so it's now possible to uninstall what have been installed
|
|
by distutils2 (see PEP 376)</li>
|
|
<li>the installer, and the setuptools compatibility layer, which will allow you
|
|
to rely on setuptools' based distributions (and there are plenty of them!)</li>
|
|
<li>The compilers, so they are more flexible than they were. Since that's an
|
|
obscure part of the code for distutils2 commiters (it comes directly from the
|
|
distutils1 ages), having some guys who understood the problematics here was
|
|
a must.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Some people have also tried to port their packaging from distutils1 to
|
|
distutils2. They have spotted a number of bugs and made some improvements
|
|
to the code, to make it more friendly to use.</p>
|
|
<p>I'm really pleased to see how newcomers went trough the code, and started
|
|
hacking so fast. I must say it wasn't the case when we started to work on
|
|
distutils1 so that's a very good point: people now can hack the code quicker
|
|
than they could before.</p>
|
|
<p>Some of the features here are not <em>completely</em> finished yet, but are on the
|
|
tubes, and will be ready for a release (hopefully) at the end of the week.</p>
|
|
<p>Big thanks to logilab for hosting (and sponsoring my train ticket) and
|
|
providing us food, and to bearstech for providing some money for breakfast and
|
|
bears^Wbeers.</p>
|
|
<p>Again, a big thanks to all the people who gave me money to pay the transport,
|
|
I really wasn't expecting such thing to happen :-)</p>
