I'm making a python package for something python Gedit/Pluma/Xed plugin.
Like other lots of other packages that use Gtk, I use glib-compile-schemas [1]
at install time.
I do this by using a custom setup.py- similar to this file this from flux:
https://github.com/xflux-gui/fluxgui/blob/master/setup.py#L81(other app, like
Meld to something similar)
It looks like there are a lot of changes happening to setuptools, will this
continue to work or will it break one day ?
This isn't the only file I'd like to generate at install time, but might be the
hardest to work around if I can't.
The other custom action I'm going looking at is setting `--install-lib` to the
editors plugin directory (this varies depending on: Operating system and is
the user root ?)
I'm using use pip for this, as the install story for most python plugins for
these editors is nonexistant - people have to copy the files to some place
manually, and instructions usually miss out Windows and OSX.
[1] glib-compile-schemas takes an XML file and generates a binary GVariant file.
