FYI - The issues discussed here combine problems specific to the enthought system with problems using setuptools (that are used if available for parts of the packaging for Kiva). ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Re: [Enthought-dev] problem easy_installing kiva: agg.i missing From: "Stanley A. Klein" Date: Tue, August 14, 2007 11:46 am To: enthought-dev@mail.enthought.com Cc: "Dave Peterson" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave - I need to remove the files from the Kiva rpm for two reasons. First, they don't belong in python/site-packages on a *nix system if compliance with the *nix File Hierarchy Standard and/or the Linux Standards Baxe (that cites the FHS) is desired. If they are in the rpm they need to go somewhere else. I can fix that by declaring the docs files in the setup.cfg file. I tried that fix, although I don't know if I did it correctly and it didn't resolve both problems. Second, they are causing trouble in running the bdist_rpm because their .pyc and .pyo files are producing an "installed but unpackaged files" error. That is somewhat peculiar to Fedora (and RedHat) because SE-Linux needs to know what files are in sensitive directories or it may think they might have been put there by an intruder and thus block access to them. That problem may be due to the lack of __init__.py files (even blank ones) in the relevant directories. Setuptools apparently looks for __init__.py files to guide its processing. I could put in blank __init__.py files and see what that does. However, I would rather fix both problems (the packaging error and the file placement) at the same time. I figured the easiest way to fix the problem is to get the directories out of Kiva and into somewhere else (a Kiva docs directory that includes tests, examples, and docs). I possibly need to go back, put in the blank __init__.py files in a lot of places (the problem is inconsistent and I can't figure out why that happens) and declare the docs as going into the proper FHS place.

Hi Stan,

Unfortunately, I've never tried to do a bdist_rpm so I'm at a loss on what might be going on here. But if I had to guess, I'm wondering if setuptools uses the .svn dirs for its build process -- these won't be updated by a local svn mv that hasn't been committed yet so it wouldn't surprise me that even doing an rm -rf wouldn't get rid of the record of them. In fact, this seems like it would actively cause the error mentioned below -- you've removed the file but setuptools thinks they should exist since there is a record in svn.

Why do they need to be removed from the rpm?

I svn-updated my enthought.branches/enthought.kiva.

The build worked.

I'm now back to having problems with unpackaged files and am working on that issue, which is becoming very strange as well.

I have tried to get all the files not needed for Kiva operation out into a separate directory (called kiva_docs) at the enthought.branches level. That includes the directories kiva/tests, kiva/agg/tests, kiva/agg/examples, and kiva/agg/docs, plus some others that I also can't seem to get rid of but don't seem to create the same error condition. I did an "svn mv". I went in and did an "rm -rf" of the directories. However, it seems that the files I thought I got rid of always seem to keep getting found, included as files to be installed, and creating problems with "installed but unpackaged files" error of rpm.

I'm curious if you've tried this on the latest unstable kiva? The svn version is currently in branches and the source tarball is in the unstable dir. I'm talking about enthought.kiva-2.0.0b2.dev here.

I'm having a very similar problem when I try to do "python setup.py bdist_rpm" on kiva. When I run "python setup.py build" it completes properly. The bdist_rpm creates an rpm spec file with the same command (or by adding an option I can make it the same command). However, when the spec file runs, I get the error message about it not being able to find agg_wrap.c.

My traceback (below) points to the error arising in the numpy distutils. I wonder if this has anything to do with setuptools being svn aware. I can imagine a possible cause being some anomaly in the embedded svn information for kiva.

I hope this additional information helps.
