Generic revision support to tag eggs
Hi all, I was wondering if there is any support for adding a revision tag on eggs other than SVN. I found Issue42 [0] in the bugtracker, which deals with this but there is no progress since a long time. So i want to reraise this question here. I did not look any further in the current suggested solution to solve the issue but my first idea was: Why so complicated with logic for finding revision tagger etc.? Because i am really new to distutils i maybe/likeky i did not get the point. But why not provide a simple option to the egg_info command to define a call of a command or script which returns the revision number? Example: [egg_info] tag_build = .dev tag_command = hg tip| head -n 1|cut -d " " -f4|cut -d: -f1 This adds a very simple way of adding hg support but in general to tag generic revisions. I have already written a patch which implements this to get a quick fix for this. So i ask myself if this might be usefull for anyone else, or if my solution is way too simple and naiv? Please do not wonder if i do not respond on the list until the 8. August as i am on holiday. best wishes Torsten Irländer [0] http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue42
