What Does It Do
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Create _version.py, based upon the latest darcs release tag.
|
|
|
|
If your source tree is coming from darcs (i.e. it is in a darcs repository),
|
|
this tool will determine the most recent release tag, count the patches that
|
|
have been applied since then, and compute a version number to be written into
|
|
_version.py . This version number will be available by doing:
|
|
|
|
from your_package_name import __version__
|
|
|
|
Source trees that do not come from darcs (e.g. release tarballs, nightly
|
|
tarballs) and are not within a darcs repository should instead, come with a
|
|
_version.py that was generated before the tarball was produced. In this case,
|
|
this tool will quietly exit without modifying the existing _version.py .
|
|
|
|
'release tags' are tags in the source repository that match the following
|
|
regexp:
|
|
|
|
^your_package_name-\d+\.\d+(\.\d+)?((a|b|c)(\d+)?)?\w*$
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
With easy_install:
|
|
|
|
easy_install darcsver
|
|
|
|
Alternative manual installation:
|
|
|
|
tar -zxvf darcsver-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
|
|
cd darcsver-X.Y.Z
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
Where X.Y.Z is a version number.
|
|
|
|
Alternative to make a specific package use darcsver without installing
|
|
darcsver into the system:
|
|
|
|
Put "setup_requires=['darcsver']" in the call to setup() in the
|
|
package's setup.py file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to use this: the command-line tool and the
|
|
setuptools plugin.
|
|
|
|
To use the command-line tool, execute it as:
|
|
|
|
darcsver $PACKAGE_NAME $PATH_TO_VERSION_PY
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use the setuptools plugin (which enables you to write "./setup.py
|
|
darcsver" and which cleverly figures out where the _version.py file
|
|
ought to go), you must first package your python module with
|
|
`setup.py` and use setuptools.
|
|
|
|
The former is well documented in the distutils manual:
|
|
|
|
http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html
|
|
|
|
To use setuptools instead of distutils, just edit `setup.py` and
|
|
change
|
|
|
|
from distutils.core import setup
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
from setuptools import setup
|
|
|
|
|
