Any recipes someone cares to share? At the moment I'm thinking I may just parse the options myself using getopt, but that seems like it might cause pain somewhere down the road.

4suite's latest alpha provides an interesting approach--though I won't come right out and vouch for it because I'm trying to spec an RPM but it doesn't have the --record option--where they allow for sub-packages. This allows one to operate on only certain sub-packages for building, installing, etc. Although PackageManager provides for this, it constitutes as a fork of the mainstream distutils and as such there will be differences or even missing features (--record).
Anyway, seeing how it operates is beneficial for both discussion and potential py2.5 inclusion...
take care,
I'm curious as to why the --record option is even needed (as I removed it on purpose). 4Suite's bdist_rpm command does all the work for determining which files need to be included. Did you happen to look at the spec file produced by 4Suite? Is it missing something we should be aware of? -- Jeremy Kloth Fourthought, Inc. http://fourthought.com/ http://4suite.org/
