devpi-1.0: PyPI server and packaging/testing/release tool ========================================================= devpi-1.0 brings an improved PyPI caching and internal index server as well as a new abilities for tox-testing and staging your Python release packages. For a (long) list of changes, see the below CHANGELOG. Documentation got revamped and extended and now contains three quickstart scenarios. First the Quickstart tutorial for pypi-mirroring on your laptop:: http://doc.devpi.net/1.0/quickstart-pypimirror.html And if you want to manage your releases or implement staging as an individual or within an organisation:: http://doc.devpi.net/1.0/quickstart-releaseprocess.html If you want to permanently install devpi-server and potentially access it from many clients:: http://doc.devpi.net/1.0/quickstart-server.html More documentation and the beginning of an exhaustive user manual:: http://doc.devpi.net/latest/ Note that devpi-1.0 is not data-compatible to the previous 0.9.4 release: You need to start with a fresh devpi-1.0 installation and upload your packages again. Future releases of devpi should support data migration more directly. best and have fun, holger krekel Changelog 1.0 (-0.9.4) ---------------------------- devpi-server: - rename "--datadir" to "--serverdir" to better match the also picked up DEVPI_SERVERDIR environment variable. - fix a strange effect in that sometimes tools ask to receive a package url with a "#md5=..." arriving at the server side. We now strip that part out before trying to serve the file. - on startup don't create any initial indexes other than the "root/pypi" pypi caching mirror. - introduce ``--start``, ``--stop`` and ``--log`` commands for controling a background devpi-server run. (these commands previously were implemented with the devpi-client and the "server" sub command) - fix issue27: provide full list of pypi names in root/pypi's simple view (and simple pages from inheriting indices) - default to "eventlet" server when creating deployment with --gendeploy - fix issue25: return 403 Forbidden when trying to delete the root user. - fix name mangling issue for pypi-cache: "project_name*" is now matched correctly when a lookup for "project-name" happens. - fix issue22: don't bypass CDN by default, rather provide an "--bypass-cdn" option to do it (in case you have cache-invalidation troubles) - fix issue20 and fix issue23: normalize index specs internally ("/root/dev" -> "root/dev") and check if base indices exist. - add Jenkins build job triggering for running the tests for a package through tox. - inheritance cleanup: inherited versions for a project are now shadowed and not shown anymore with getreleaselinks() or in +simple pages if the "basename" is exactly shadowed. - fix issue16: enrich projectconfig json with a "+shadow" file which lists shadowed "versions" - initial wheel support: accept "whl" uploads and support caching of whl files from pypi.python.org - implemented internal push operation between devpi indexes - show "docs" link if documentation has been uploaded - pushing releases to pypi.python.org will now correctly report the filetype/pyversion in the metadata. - add setting of acl_upload for indexes. Only the owning user and acl_upload users may upload releases, files or documentation to an index. - add --passwd USER option for setting a user's password server-side - don't require email setting for creating users devpi-client: - removed ``server`` subcommand and options for controling background devpi-server processes to become options of ``devpi-server`` itself. - fix issue14: lookup "python" from PATH for upload/packaging activities instead of using "sys.executable" which comes from the interpreter executing the "devpi" script. This allows to alias "devpi" to come from a virtualenv which is separate from the one used to perform packaging. - fix issue35: "devpi index" cleanly errors out if no index is specified or in use. - remember authentication on a per-root basis and cleanup "devpi use" interactions. This makes switching between multiple devpi instances more seemless. - fix issue17: better reporting when "devpi use" does not operate on valid URL - test result upload and access: - "devpi test" invokes "tox --result-json ..." and uploads the test result log to devpi-server. - "devpi list [-f] PKG" shows test result information. - add "uploadtrigger_jenkins" configuration option through "devpi index". - fix issue19: devpi use now memorizes --venv setting properly. Thanks Laurent. - fix issue16: show files from shadowed versions - initial wheel support: "devpi upload --format=bdist_wheel" now uploads a wheel format file to the index. (XXX "devpi install" will trigger pip commands with option "--use-wheels".) - fix issue15: docs will now be built via "setup.py build_sphinx" using a internal build dir so that the upload succeeds if conf.py would otherwise specify a non-standard location. - implement and refine "devpi push" command. It now accepts two forms "user/name" for specifying an internal devpi index and "pypi:REPONAME" for specifying a repository which must be defined in a .pypirc file. - remove spurious pdb.set_trace() in devpi install command when no pip can be found. - show and allow to set "acl_upload" for uploading priviliges - add longer descriptions to each sub command, shown with "devpi COMMAND -h". - removed pytestplugin support for now (pytest reporting directly to devpi-server)
