- Use TickCount() in stead of LMGetTicks()
- Don't use xxxGetFile event filter
- Don't call SystemTask or HandleSysWindowEvent (is this also automatically handled under os9??)
- Don't scan event queue for cmd-. (to be fixed at some point).
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()'
This patch correct bounds checking in PyLong_FromLongLong. Currently, it does
not check properly for negative values when checking to see if the incoming
value fits in a long or unsigned long. This results in possible silent
truncation of the value for very large negative values.
* 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
* 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')
setup script) to be a list of Extension instances, rather than a list of of
(ext_name, build_info) tuples. This is mostly a simplification, but
'check_extension_list()' got a lot more complicated because of the need to
convert the old-style tuples to Extension instances.
Temporarily dropped support for defining/undefining macros in the
'extensions' list -- I want to change the interface, but haven't yet made
the required changes in CCompiler and friends to support this nicely.
Also neatened up the code that merges 'extra_compile_flags' and the CFLAGS
environment variable.
