Hi folks, I have an app that I'm using setuptools to build/install. During the build process (I think), it "touches" the following files: ... myapp/src/app/app.egg-info/PKG-INFO myapp/src/app/app.egg-info/SOURCES.txt myapp/src/app/app.egg-info/dependency_links.txt myapp/src/app/app.egg-info/requires.txt myapp/src/app/app.egg-info/top_level.txt ... even though none of the files in the app were modified. As a result the source control system thinks there are new versions of these files. THough they are not marked changed by the source control system, the fact that they are being flagged as being "tocuhed" is causing confusion amongst folks in my team unrelated to my comp - when they see that their changes elsewhere - is affecting my comp. Since these files are deployed as part of the install step, looks like they have to be included under source control. Is there a way to ask setuptools to not "touch" these files if nothing underlying has changed. I can understand SOURCES.txt would have to change when a new source file is added or an old one removed, but others in the above list pretty much remain the same within a given release. Thanks for the help, /venkat ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debate in the Yahoo!
