Okay, three attachments to this message
1) patch against CVS to add bdist_rpm
2) bdist_rpm.py
3) a sample package_data file for Distutils that can be used to build a
Distutils RPM (it will build an RPM without the file)
I have to leave for a meeting, but when I get back I will post
instructions. The patch uses --package-prefix and --record-install, but if
you don't want to use them just change bdist_rpm.py lines 191-192 to the
command you want to use to install.
No options at this time, but I have several I am adding tonight. There are
several caveats to the command as in stands now, they will no longer apply
after I add the options.

I have attached a patch against CVS to expand the functionality of the
tarball formats in the sdist and bdist commands. It adds the following:
Adds bztar format to generate .tar.bz2 tarballs
Uses the -f argument to overright old tarballs automatically, I am
assuming that if the old tarball was wanted it would have been moved or
else the version number would have been changed.
Uses the -9 argument to bzip2 and gzip to use maximum
compression. Compress uses the maximum compression by default.
Tests for correct value for the 'compress' argument of make_tarball. This
is one less place for someone adding new compression programs to forget to
change.
I have a patch (but not attached) which detects if tar is GNU tar > 1.13,
but I do not know if I should submit it because it depends on the
Unix-only popen2 module. Can it be assumed that only Unix users will
generate tarballs, and if this assumption can be made should I submit the
patch? In any case, I don't know very much about tar, so someone else
would have to put the information to use after it is detected.

Just an idea for generating both .pyc and .pyo byte code: have a new
command that just generates byte code in an already installed set of
files, (perhaps `setup.py compile_only`), then spawn
python -o setup.py compile_only
from within `setup.py install`

Here is a patch to add a new item to class DistributionMetadata ,
long_description. Most of the info for RPMs I am putting in a separate
file, but this seemed appropriate for inclusion in setup.py, it would be
useful, for example, for adding an option to create .lsm files.

I'm done with bdist_rpm, I will post it tonight with instructions after I
get some sleep and test it.

Hi all --
I finally found one of those round tuits and put the current
documentation, processed into PDF and PostScript, online:
http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/doc/
HTML to come.

Here is a patch to bdist_dumb to keep it from raising a NameErrer when it
tries to raise a DistutilsPlatformError .
