Hi all -- I've just released a new code snapshot, available at http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/download.html#snapshot The major change is the addition of Bastian Kleineidam's "install_scripts" and "install_data" commands. I'll let you figure out what type of files these two install. ;-) I also fixed a little bug in the "install" command that appeared when testing Bastian's two commands. Also, there an initial stab at finding and parsing config files has been added. It doesn't have any actual effect yet, though. Oh yeah, Lyle Johnson's --compiler switch went in tonight too. Thanks to Bastian and Lyle for the patches! (And also to Harry Gebel, whose bdist_rpm did *not* make it in tonight ... that was the original plan, but I got distracted by Bastian's stuff. Ahh well, one patch at a time...) Greg PS. there's some CVS reshuffling going on at python.org, the upshot of which is that these changes are *not* available by CVS (unless you happen to have a login on my home PC, which you do not unless you are me). I'm afraid everyone will have to use code snapshots for the next couple of days. ;-( -- Greg Ward - Linux nerd gward@python.net http://starship.python.net/~gward/ Be wary of strong drink.
