Hello, I'm trying to automate my release process from vcs - something like:
run tests -> fetch current major, minor from branch (e.g. release_1.2) and revision from tag (e.g. v1.2.1) -> upload with current major, minor and revision +1> tag with such current major, minor and incremented revision.
I'd like to set my version from outside my setup.py file, either via setup.py or a commandline option - I don't want to execute code in my setup.py since this usually causes all sort of headaches with missing dependencies.
Is there any proper way to do it? Might I break other things unexpectedly?
I suggest using a tool like: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zest.releaser http://pypi.python.org/pypi/jarn.mkrelease http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.releaser Depending on which vcs you are using you may need some extra packages, see: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zest.releaser/3.18#prepare-for-pypi-distribution When testing any of these tools you may want to create a local subversion/git/mercurial/whatever repository and create a small package there to test releasing it. -- Maurits van Rees Programmer at Zest Software http://zestsoftware.nl Personal website http://maurits.vanrees.org/
