[Resending with gzipped complete filelist as the previous try was too large to send to the list]
Just to illustrate what I'm trying to achieve. I've updated the Fedora Packaging Guidelines[1]_ to allow two versions of a package to coexist. I'll list here the sqlalchemy-0.4 and -0.3 build steps, filelists, and the output of the test-sql.sh script using this procedure. The end result is what we want but the build step to get there seem a tad fragile and kludgey. Since these are going to become guidelines for all of our python packages, I'd like to know if either: 1) there's a better way to do this or 2) the results I'm achieving are not expected and could disappear with a random upgrade of setuptools. .. _[1]: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/PythonEggs Build ----- sqlalchemy-0.3 compat package:: CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" %{__python} setup.py bdist_egg mkdir -p %{python_sitelib} easy_install -m --prefix $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_usr} dist/*.egg sqlalchemy-0.4 default package:: CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" %{__python} setup.py bdist_egg mkdir -p %{python_sitelib} easy_install -m --prefix %{_usr} --always-unzip dist/*.egg cd %{python_sitelib}/%{srcname}-%{version}%{betaver}-py%{pyver}.egg mv sqlalchemy .. ln -s ../sqlalchemy . The compat package is pretty straighforward. However, building the default package seems overly complex. It seems like we should be able to do this:: CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" %{__python} setup.py build %{__python} setup.py install --skip-build --root $RPM_BUILD_ROOT But that yields the tracebacks when using pkg_resource.require() to try to run 0.3. truncated filelist ------------------ Full filelist attached. These are the main toplevel directories to show where the important pieces are. The sqlalchemy directories all contain a version of the python module. (SQLAlchemy-0.4.egg/sqlalchemy is actually a symlink to site-packages/sqlalchemy but that doesn't matter. Those can be reversed or they can be copies with the same results). site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.3.10-py2.5.egg site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.3.10-py2.5.egg/EGG-INFO site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.3.10-py2.5.egg/sqlalchemy site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.4.0beta4-py2.5.egg site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.4.0beta4-py2.5.egg/EGG-INFO site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.4.0beta4-py2.5.egg/sqlalchemy site-packages/sqlalchemy test-sql.sh output ------------------ import sqlalchemy... 0.4.0beta4 pkg_require >=0.3,<0.4.0beta1... 0.3.10 pkg_require... 0.4.0beta4 pkg_require >=0.3... 0.4.0beta4 pkg_require <= 0.4.10... 0.4.0beta4 pkg_require <=0.3.12... 0.3.10 -Toshio
