Change History
**************
1.?.? (201?-??-??)
==================
New Features:
- Added buildout:socket-timout option so that socket timeout can be configured
both from command line and from config files. (gotcha)
- Buildout can be safely used with a system Python (or any Python with code
in site-packages), as long as you use the new z3c.recipe.scripts
recipe to generate scripts and interpreters, rather than zc.recipe.egg.
zc.recipe.egg is still a fully supported, and simpler, way of
generating scripts and interpreters if you are using a "clean" Python,
without code installed in site-packages. It keeps its previous behavior in
order to provide backwards compatibility.
The z3c.recipe.scripts recipe allows you to control how you use the
code in site-packages. You can exclude it entirely; allow eggs in it
to fulfill package dependencies declared in setup.py and buildout
configuration; allow it to be available but not used to fulfill
dependencies declared in setup.py or buildout configuration; or only
allow certain eggs in site-packages to fulfill dependencies.
- Added new function, ``zc.buildout.easy_install.sitepackage_safe_scripts``,
to generate scripts and interpreter. It produces a full-featured
interpreter (all command-line options supported) and the ability to
safely let scripts include site packages, such as with a system
Python. The ``z3c.recipe.scripts`` recipe uses this new function.
- Improve bootstrap.
* New options let you specify where to find ez_setup.py and where to find
a download cache. These options can keep bootstrap from going over the
network.
* Another new option lets you specify where to put generated eggs.
* The buildout script generated by bootstrap honors more of the settings
in the designated configuration file (e.g., buildout.cfg).
Bugs fixed:
- The handling and documenting of default buildout options was normalized.
This means, among other things, that ``bin/buildout -vv`` and
``bin/buildout annotate`` correctly list more of the options.
- Installing a namespace package using a Python that already has a package
in the same namespace (e.g., in the Python's site-packages) failed in
some cases.
- Another variation of this error showed itself when at least two
dependencies were in a shared location like site-packages, and the
first one met the "versions" setting. The first dependency would be
added, but subsequent dependencies from the same location (e.g.,
site-packages) would use the version of the package found in the
shared location, ignoring the version setting.
1.4.3 (2009-12-10)
==================
Bugs fixed:
- Using pre-detected setuptools version for easy_installing tgz files. This
prevents a recursion error when easy_installing an upgraded "distribute"
tgz. Note that setuptools did not have this recursion problem solely
because it was packaged as an ``.egg``, which does not have to go through
the easy_install step.
1.4.2 (2009-11-01)
==================
New Feature:
- Added a --distribute option to the bootstrap script, in order
to use Distribute rather than Setuptools. By default, Setuptools
is used.
Bugs fixed:
- While checking for new versions of setuptools and buildout itself,
compare requirement locations instead of requirement objects.
- Incrementing didn't work properly when extending multiple files.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+bug/421022
- The download API computed MD5 checksums of text files wrong on Windows.
1.4.1 (2009-08-27)
==================
New Feature:
- Added a debug built-in recipe to make writing some tests easier.
Bugs fixed:
- (introduced in 1.4.0) option incrementing (-=) and decrementing (-=)
didn't work in the buildout section.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+bug/420463
- Option incrementing and decrementing didn't work for options
specified on the command line.
- Scripts generated with relative-paths enabled couldn't be
symbolically linked to other locations and still work.
- Scripts run using generated interpreters didn't have __file__ set correctly.
- The standard Python -m option didn't work for custom interpreters.
1.4.0 (2009-08-26)
==================
- When doing variable substitutions, you can omit the section name to
refer to a variable in the same section (e.g. ${:foo}).
- When doing variable substitution, you can use the special option,
``_buildout_section_name_`` to get the section name. This is most handy
for getting the current section name (e.g. ${:_buildout_section_name_}).
- A new special option, ``<`` allows sections to be used as macros.
- Added annotate command for annotated sections. Displays sections
key-value pairs along with the value origin.
- Added a download API that handles the download cache, offline mode etc and
is meant to be reused by recipes.
- Used the download API to allow caching of base configurations (specified by
the buildout section's 'extends' option).
1.3.1 (2009-08-12)
==================
- Bug fixed: extras were ignored in some cases when versions were specified.
1.3.0 (2009-06-22)
==================
- Better Windows compatibility in test infrastructure.
- Now the bootstrap.py has an optional --version argument,
that can be used to force zc.buildout version to use.
- ``zc.buildout.testing.buildoutSetUp`` installs a new handler in the
python root logging facility. This handler is now removed during
tear down as it might disturb other packages reusing buildout's
testing infrastructure.
- fixed usage of 'relative_paths' keyword parameter on Windows
- Added an unload entry point for extensions.
- Fixed bug: when the relative paths option was used, relative paths
could be inserted into sys.path if a relative path was used to run
the generated script.
1.2.1 (2009-03-18)
==================
- Refactored generation of relative egg paths to generate simpler code.
1.2.0 (2009-03-17)
==================
- Added a relative_paths option to zc.buildout.easy_install.script to
generate egg paths relative to the script they're used in.
1.1.2 (2009-03-16)
==================
- Added Python 2.6 support. Removed Python 2.3 support.
- Fixed remaining deprecation warnings under Python 2.6, both when running
our tests and when using the package.
- Switched from using os.popen* to subprocess.Popen, to avoid a deprecation
warning in Python 2.6. See:
http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html#replacing-os-popen-os-popen2-os-popen3
- Made sure the 'redo_pyc' function and the doctest checkers work with Python
executable paths containing spaces.
- Expand shell patterns when processing the list of paths in `develop`, e.g::
[buildout]
develop = ./local-checkouts/*
- Conditionally import and use hashlib.md5 when it's available instead
of md5 module, which is deprecated in Python 2.6.
- Added Jython support for bootstrap, development bootstrap
and zc.buildout support on Jython
- Fixed a bug that would cause buildout to break while computing a
directory hash if it found a broken symlink (Launchpad #250573)
1.1.1 (2008-07-28)
==================
- Fixed a bug that caused buildouts to fail when variable
substitutions are used to name standard directories, as in::
[buildout]
eggs-directory = ${buildout:directory}/develop-eggs
1.1.0 (2008-07-19)
==================
- Added a buildout-level unzip option tp change the default policy for
unzipping zip-safe eggs.
- Tracebacks are now printed for internal errors (as opposed to user
errors) even without the -D option.
- pyc and pyo files are regenerated for installed eggs so that the
stored path in code objects matches the the install location.
1.0.6 (2008-06-13)
==================
- Manually reverted the changeset for the fix for
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+bug/239212 to verify thet the test
actually fails with the changeset:
http://svn.zope.org/zc.buildout/trunk/src/zc/buildout/buildout.py?rev=87309&r1=87277&r2=87309
Thanks tarek for pointing this out. (seletz)
- fixed the test for the += -= syntax in buildout.txt as the test
was actually wronng. The original implementation did a split/join
on whitespace, and later on that was corrected to respect the original
EOL setting, the test was not updated, though. (seletz)
- added a test to verify against https://bugs.launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+bug/239212
in allowhosts.txt (seletz)
- further fixes for """AttributeError: Buildout instance has no
attribute '_logger'""" by providing reasonable defaults
within the Buildout constructor (related to the new 'allow-hosts' option)
(patch by Gottfried Ganssauge) (ajung)
1.0.5 (2008-06-10)
==================
- Fixed wrong split when using the += and -= syntax (mustapha)
1.0.4 (2008-06-10)
==================
- Added the `allow-hosts` option (tarek)
- Quote the 'executable' argument when trying to detect the python
version using popen4. (sidnei)
- Quote the 'spec' argument, as in the case of installing an egg from
the buildout-cache, if the filename contains spaces it would fail (sidnei)
- Extended configuration syntax to allow -= and += operators (malthe, mustapha).
1.0.3 (2008-06-01)
==================
- fix for """AttributeError: Buildout instance has no attribute '_logger'"""
by providing reasonable defaults within the Buildout constructor.
(patch by Gottfried Ganssauge) (ajung)
1.0.2 (2008-05-13)
==================
- More fixes for Windows. A quoted sh-bang is now used on Windows to make the
.exe files work with a Python executable in 'program files'.
- Added "-t <timeout_in_seconds>" option for specifying the socket timeout.
(ajung)
1.0.1 (2008-04-02)
==================
- Made easy_install.py's _get_version accept non-final releases of Python,
like 2.4.4c0. (hannosch)
- Applied various patches for Windows (patch by Gottfried Ganssauge). (ajung)
- Applied patch fixing rmtree issues on Windows (patch by
Gottfried Ganssauge). (ajung)
1.0.0 (2008-01-13)
==================
- Added a French translation of the buildout tutorial.
1.0.0b31 (2007-11-01)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Added a configuration option that allows buildouts to ignore
dependency_links metadata specified in setup. By default
dependency_links in setup are used in addition to buildout specified
find-links. This can make it hard to control where eggs come
from. Here's how to tell buildout to ignore URLs in
dependency_links::
[buildout]
use-dependency-links = false
By default use-dependency-links is true, which matches the behavior
of previous versions of buildout.
- Added a configuration option that causes buildout to error if a
version is picked. This is a nice safety belt when fixing all
versions is intended, especially when creating releases.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- 151820: Develop failed if the setup.py script imported modules in
the distribution directory.
- Verbose logging of the develop command was omitting detailed
output.
- The setup command wasn't documented.
- The setup command failed if run in a directory without specifying a
configuration file.
- The setup command raised a stupid exception if run without arguments.
- When using a local find links or index, distributions weren't copied
to the download cache.
- When installing from source releases, a version specification (via a
buildout versions section) for setuptools was ignored when deciding
which setuptools to use to build an egg from the source release.
1.0.0b30 (2007-08-20)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Changed the default policy back to what it was to avoid breakage in
existing buildouts. Use::
[buildout]
prefer-final = true
to get the new policy. The new policy will go into effect in
buildout 2.
1.0.0b29 (2007-08-20)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Now, final distributions are prefered over non-final versions. If
both final and non-final versions satisfy a requirement, then the
final version will be used even if it is older. The normal way to
override this for specific packages is to specifically require a
non-final version, either specifically or via a lower bound.
- There is a buildout prefer-final version that can be used with a
value of "false"::
prefer-final = false
To prefer newer versions, regardless of whether or not they are
final, buildout-wide.
- The new simple Python index, http://cheeseshop.python.org/simple, is
used as the default index. This will provide better performance
than the human package index interface,
http://pypi.python.org/pypi. More importantly, it lists hidden
distributions, so buildouts with fixed distribution versions will be
able to find old distributions even if the distributions have been
hidden in the human PyPI interface.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- 126441: Look for default.cfg in the right place on Windows.
1.0.0b28 (2007-07-05)
=====================
Bugs Fixed
----------
- When requiring a specific version, buildout looked for new versions
even if that single version was already installed.
1.0.0b27 (2007-06-20)
=====================
Bugs Fixed
----------
- Scripts were generated incorrectly on Windows. This included the
buildout script itself, making buildout completely unusable.
1.0.0b26 (2007-06-19)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Thanks to recent fixes in setuptools, I was able to change buildout
to use find-link and index information when searching extensions.
Sadly, this work, especially the timing, was motivated my the need
to use alternate indexes due to performance problems in the cheese
shop (http://www.python.org/pypi/). I really home we can address
these performance problems soon.
1.0.0b25 (2007-05-31)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- buildout now changes to the buildout directory before running recipe
install and update methods.
- Added a new init command for creating a new buildout. This creates
an empty configuration file and then bootstraps.
- Except when using the new init command, it is now an error to run
buildout without a configuration file.
- In verbose mode, when adding distributions to fulful requirements of
already-added distributions, we now show why the new distributions
are being added.
- Changed the logging format to exclude the logger name for the
zc.buildout logger. This reduces noise in the output.
- Clean up lots of messages, adding missing periods and adding quotes around
requirement strings and file paths.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- 114614: Buildouts could take a very long time if there were
dependency problems in large sets of pathologically interdependent
packages.
- 59270: Buggy recipes can cause failures in later recipes via chdir
- 61890: file:// urls don't seem to work in find-links
setuptools requires that file urls that point to directories must
end in a "/". Added a workaround.
- 75607: buildout should not run if it creates an empty buildout.cfg
1.0.0b24 (2007-05-09)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Improved error reporting by showing which packages require other
packages that can't be found or that cause version conflicts.
- Added an API for use by recipe writers to clean up created files
when recipe errors occur.
- Log installed scripts.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- 92891: bootstrap crashes with recipe option in buildout section.
- 113085: Buildout exited with a zero exist status when internal errors
occured.
1.0.0b23 (2007-03-19)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Added support for download caches. A buildout can specify a cache
for distribution downloads. The cache can be shared among buildouts
to reduce network access and to support creating source
distributions for applications allowing install without network
access.
- Log scripts created, as suggested in:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+bug/71353
Bugs Fixed
----------
- It wasn't possible to give options on the command line for sections
not defined in a configuration file.
1.0.0b22 (2007-03-15)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Improved error reporting and debugging support:
- Added "logical tracebacks" that show functionally what the buildout
was doing when an error occurs. Don't show a Python traceback
unless the -D option is used.
- Added a -D option that causes the buildout to print a traceback and
start the pdb post-mortem debugger when an error occurs.
- Warnings are printed for unused options in the buildout section and
installed-part sections. This should make it easier to catch option
misspellings.
- Changed the way the installed database (.installed.cfg) is handled
to avoid database corruption when a user breaks out of a buildout
with control-c.
- Don't save an installed database if there are no installed parts or
develop egg links.
1.0.0b21 (2007-03-06)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Added support for repeatable buildouts by allowing egg versions to
be specified in a versions section.
- The easy_install module install and build functions now accept a
versions argument that supplied to mapping from project name to
version numbers. This can be used to fix version numbers for
required distributions and their depenencies.
When a version isn't fixed, using either a versions option or using
a fixed version number in a requirement, then a debug log message is
emitted indicating the version picked. This is useful for setting
versions options.
A default_versions function can be used to set a default value for
this option.
- Adjusted the output for verbosity levels. Using a single -v option
no longer causes voluminous setuptools output. Uisng -vv and -vvv
now triggers extra setuptools output.
- Added a remove testing helper function that removes files or directories.
1.0.0b20 (2007-02-08)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Added a buildout newest option, to control whether the newest
distributions should be sought to meet requirements. This might
also provide a hint to recipes that don't deal with
distributions. For example, a recipe that manages subversion
checkouts might not update a checkout if newest is set to "false".
- Added a *newest* keyword parameter to the
zc.buildout.easy_install.install and zc.buildout.easy_install.build
functions to control whether the newest distributions that meed
given requirements should be sought. If a false value is provided
for this parameter and already installed eggs meet the given
requirements, then no attempt will be made to search for newer
distributions.
- The recipe-testing support setUp function now adds the name
*buildout* to the test namespace with a value that is the path to
the buildout script in the sample buildout. This allows tests to
use
>>> print system(buildout),
rather than:
>>> print system(join('bin', 'buildout')),
Bugs Fixed
----------
- Paths returned from update methods replaced lists of installed files
rather than augmenting them.
1.0.0b19 (2007-01-24)
=====================
Bugs Fixed
----------
- Explicitly specifying a Python executable failed if the output of
running Python with the -V option included a 2-digit (rather than a
3-digit) version number.
1.0.0b18 (2007-01-22)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Added documentation for some previously undocumented features of the
easy_install APIs.
- By popular demand, added a -o command-line option that is a short
hand for the assignment buildout:offline=true.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- When deciding whether recipe develop eggs had changed, buildout
incorrectly considered files in .svn and CVS directories.
1.0.0b17 (2006-12-07)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Configuration files can now be loaded from URLs.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/products/zc.buildout/+bug/71246
Buildout extensions installed as eggs couldn't be loaded in offline
mode.
1.0.0b16 (2006-12-07)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- A new command-line argument, -U, suppresses reading user defaults.
- You can now suppress use of an installed-part database
(e.g. .installed.cfg) by sprifying an empty value for the buildout
installed option.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- When the install command is used with a list of parts, only
those parts are supposed to be installed, but the buildout was also
building parts that those parts depended on.
1.0.0b15 (2006-12-06)
=====================
Bugs Fixed
----------
- Uninstall recipes weren't loaded correctly in cases where
no parts in the (new) configuration used the recipe egg.
1.0.0b14 (2006-12-05)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Added uninstall recipes for dealing with complex uninstallation
scenarios.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- Automatic upgrades weren't performed on Windows due to a bug that
caused buildout to incorrectly determine that it wasn't running
locally in a buildout.
- Fixed some spurious test failures on Windows.
1.0.0b13 (2006-12-04)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Variable substitutions now reflect option data written by recipes.
- A part referenced by a part in a parts list is now added to the parts
list before the referencing part. This means that you can omit
parts from the parts list if they are referenced by other parts.
- Added a develop function to the easy_install module to aid in
creating develop eggs with custom build_ext options.
- The build and develop functions in the easy_install module now
return the path of the egg or egg link created.
- Removed the limitation that parts named in the install command can
only name configured parts.
- Removed support ConfigParser-style variable substitutions
(e.g. %(foo)s). Only the string-template style of variable
(e.g. ${section:option}) substitutions will be supported.
Supporting both violates "there's only one way to do it".
- Deprecated the buildout-section extendedBy option.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- We treat setuptools as a dependency of any distribution that
(declares that it) uses namespace packages, whether it declares
setuptools as a dependency or not. This wasn't working for eggs
intalled by virtue of being dependencies.
1.0.0b12 (2006-10-24)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Added an initialization argument to the
zc.buildout.easy_install.scripts function to include initialization
code in generated scripts.
1.0.0b11 (2006-10-24)
=====================
Bugs Fixed
----------
`67737 <https://launchpad.net/products/zc.buildout/+bug/67737>`_
Verbose and quite output options caused errors when the
develop buildout option was used to create develop eggs.
`67871 <https://launchpad.net/products/zc.buildout/+bug/67871>`_
Installation failed if the source was a (local) unzipped
egg.
`67873 <https://launchpad.net/products/zc.buildout/+bug/67873>`_
There was an error in producing an error message when part names
passed to the install command weren't included in the
configuration.
1.0.0b10 (2006-10-16)
=====================
Feature Changes
---------------
- Renamed the runsetup command to setup. (The old name still works.)
- Added a recipe update method. Now install is only called when a part
is installed for the first time, or after an uninstall. Otherwise,
update is called. For backward compatibility, recipes that don't
define update methiods are still supported.
- If a distribution defines namespace packages but fails to declare
setuptools as one of its dependencies, we now treat setuptools as an
implicit dependency. We generate a warning if the distribution
is a develop egg.
- You can now create develop eggs for setup scripts that don't use setuptools.
Bugs Fixed
----------
- Egg links weren't removed when corresponding entries were removed
from develop sections.
- Running a non-local buildout command (one not installed in the
buildout) ket to a hang if there were new versions of zc.buildout or
setuptools were available. Now we issue a warning and don't
upgrade.
- When installing zip-safe eggs from local directories, the eggs were
moved, rather than copied, removing them from the source directory.
1.0.0b9 (2006-10-02)
====================
Bugs Fixed
----------
Non-zip-safe eggs were not unzipped when they were installed.
1.0.0b8 (2006-10-01)
====================
Bugs Fixed
----------
- Installing source distributions failed when using alternate Python
versions (depending on the versions of Python used.)
- Installing eggs wasn't handled as efficiently as possible due to a
bug in egg URL parsing.
- Fixed a bug in runsetup that caused setup scripts that introspected
__file__ to fail.
1.0.0b7
=======
Added a documented testing framework for use by recipes. Refactored
the buildout tests to use it.
Added a runsetup command run a setup script. This is handy if, like
me, you don't install setuptools in your system Python.
1.0.0b6
=======
Fixed https://launchpad.net/products/zc.buildout/+bug/60582
Use of extension options caused bootstrapping to fail if the eggs
directory didn't already exist. We no longer use extensions for
bootstrapping. There really isn't any reason to anyway.
1.0.0b5
=======
Refactored to do more work in buildout and less work in easy_install.
This makes things go a little faster, makes errors a little easier to
handle, and allows extensions (like the sftp extension) to influence
more of the process. This was done to fix a problem in using the sftp
support.
1.0.0b4
=======
- Added an **experimental** extensions mechanism, mainly to support
adding sftp support to buildouts that need it.
- Fixed buildout self-updating on Windows.
1.0.0b3
=======
- Added a help option (-h, --help)
- Increased the default level of verbosity.
- Buildouts now automatically update themselves to new versions of
zc.buildout and setuptools.
- Added Windows support.
- Added a recipe API for generating user errors.
- No-longer generate a py_zc.buildout script.
- Fixed some bugs in variable substitutions.
The characters "-", "." and " ", weren't allowed in section or
option names.
Substitutions with invalid names were ignored, which caused
missleading failures downstream.
- Improved error handling. No longer show tracebacks for user errors.
- Now require a recipe option (and therefore a section) for every part.
- Expanded the easy_install module API to:
- Allow extra paths to be provided
- Specify explicit entry points
- Specify entry-point arguments
1.0.0b2
=======
Added support for specifying some build_ext options when installing eggs
from source distributions.
1.0.0b1
=======
- Changed the bootstrapping code to only install setuptools and
zc.buildout. The bootstrap code no-longer runs the buildout itself.
This was to fix a bug that caused parts to be recreated
unnecessarily because the recipe signature in the initial buildout
reflected temporary locations for setuptools and zc.buildout.
- Now create a minimal setup.py if it doesn't exist and issue a
warning that it is being created.
- Fixed bug in saving installed configuration data. %'s and extra
spaces weren't quoted.
1.0.0a1
=======
