Hi,
I wonder about the way of making setuptools independent of VCS. After
a fast reading, 2 functions engage the attention :
- prune_file_list (egg_info.py)
- copytree (install_egg_info.py)
These functions manipulate VCS directories (RCS, CVS, .svn). Instead
of listing explicitly each VCS directory, I propose to replace by all
hidden directories (.*). Recents VCS uses them (.git, .svn, .bzr, .hg
...).
Other ideas ?
Plugins. (This would also be the case for the revision-number
finding code.) We could just add a "setuptools.vcs_filters" entry
point group wherein filter functions could be registered. Most VCS
support is through plugins anyhow, so it's no big deal for them to
define a function and add another entry point.
