Folks:
We've finally gotten the build/test/install process of allmydata.org
tahoe working smoothly using setuptools. (Thanks especially to Chris
Galvan.) See our buildbot for many details:
http://allmydata.org/buildbot/waterfall?show_events=true
Here is the list of dependencies which are automatically satisfied by
setuptools. (This list is taken from our Ubuntu Dapper buildslave.)
allmydata-tahoe: 1.2.0-r3452, foolscap: 0.3.2, pycryptopp: 0.5.12,
zfec: 1.4.4, Twisted: 8.2.0, Nevow: 0.9.32, zope.interface: 3.5.0,
simplejson: 2.0.7, argparse: 0.8.0, pyOpenSSL: 0.8, pyutil: 1.3.30,
zbase32: 1.1.1, setuptools: 0.6c10dev
For reference, a year ago many of these couldn't be correctly
installed by setuptools.
The next step that I would like to take is to automate the production
of .deb's from setup.py's. The stdeb tool works fairly well for
this. I would be especially pleased if Andrew Straw and Pedro
Algarvio, the maintainers of stdeb, would release a new version
including the patch that I submitted to automatically detect debian
dependencies from setuptools dependencies, using apt-listfiles:
https://code.launchpad.net/~astraw/stdeb/autofind-depends
I just looked at the stdeb home page:
http://stdeb.python-hosting.com
and it said:
"""
Call for volunteers
I don't have a lot of time for this. This project stands a very real
chance of being only a shadow of its potential self unless people
step up and contribute. There are numerous ways in which people could
help. In particular, I'd be interested in finding a co-maintainer or
maintainer if the project generates any interest. Secondarily, I
would appreciate advice from Debian developers or Ubuntu MOTUs about
the arcane details of Python packaging.
Please address all questions to the distutils-SIG
"""
So, how about it?
Regards,
Zooko
