van.pydeb 1.3.3

Description:

van.pydeb 1.3.3

Tools for introspecting Python package metadata and translating the resulting
information into Debian metadata. This information is translated:

Setuptools version numbers to Debian format that sorts correctly
Setuptools package names to Debian binary and source package names
Setuptools dependencies to Debian dependencies

This package provides a van-pydeb binary which provides a way to access the
information from shell scripts. A python based API is also available for python
programs to use.

Usage
To extract the dependency info of this package, one can run the following
command after setting up buildout:
$ ./bin/van-pydeb depends --egg-info van.pydeb.egg-info
python-setuptools, python-van
This information can then used in a debian/rules file as follows:
(echo -n 'setuptools:Depends=' && van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lib/python$*/site-packages/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info) >> debian/$(PACKAGE).substvars
There ary many different methods of using this command, such as getting the
dependencies (including the extra dependencies) of the package:
van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info
Or, the dependencies of an extra:
van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info --extra $(EXTRA)
The dependencies of 2 extras:
van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info --extra $(EXTRA) --extra $(EXTRA2)
The dependencies of a package excluding the dependencies of extras:
van-pydeb depends --egg-info debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lip/python$*/$(EGG_NAME).egg-info --exclude-extra $(EXTRA1) --exclude-extra $(EXTRA2)


Development
The code for van.pydeb is housed in subversion at http://svn.zope.org/van.pydeb/.


Changes

1.3.3 (2011-08-10)

Generate separate dependencies when both extra and version requirements are
specified (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628560)
py_to_bin_default: do not prepend python- if python package name already
starts with it.
Update automatically updated list from current unstable.
setuptools comes from distribute source package.



1.3.2 (2010-06-22)

Conform to Zope repository policy.
Update automatically updated list from current unstable.
Ignore python3 packages for now in auto-generated list.



1.3.1 (2010-01-14)

Add override for python-gettext.
Add override for Chameleon (python-chameleon).
Update automatically updated list from current unstable.



1.3.0 (2009-09-04)

Add a scripts/generate script which generates a python package -> debian
binary mapping suitable for adding to van/pydeb/py_to_bin.txt.
Append the output of the generate script to van/pydeb/py_to_bin.txt.
Expose _default functions for package conversions so that generate can check
it’s results and weed out extra packages that match the default conversions.
Make python-pkg-resources the default translation for setuptools:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543551
Add the concept of options to the list of dependencies.
Create a “reduced” option that causes warnings to be printed when a reduced
dependncy is used.
Implement a –override-bdep option which can be used to override python to
binary package dependencies.



1.2.1 (2009-06-15)

Add mapping for ZConfig and RestrictedPython.
Change default Debian binary to python package name conversion. The original
package name will be used if there is no python-prefix. This works with
packages such as buildbot which do not include the python-. The previous
version errored in this case, so we’re backwards compatible :)



1.2.0 (2009-05-29)

Improve README.txt. Thanks to Fabio Tranchitella for a better looking way of
calling van-pydeb in the rules file.
Expose version and package name conversion functions via the command line interface.
e.g. This command will print out the debian binary package name:
$ van-pydeb py_to_bin foo




1.1.0 (2009-05-26)

Obligatory “How could I have done that” release smoothing out documentation
bugs and making the command line options more complete.



1.0.0 (2009-05-26)

Initial Release.
