Not sure if anyone reported a similar issue here since I'm not subscribed, but here it goes.
Some of the new plone.* eggs are being built on OS X by the developers, they usually do 'setup.py sdist bdist_egg upload'. Sometimes they only do 'setup.py sdist upload' Turns out that if you try to easy_install and there's only the sdist package, but no egg, easy_install uses tarfile to unpack the package, build an egg and install the egg. However, for some reason some of those nasty '._<filename>' files that OS X creates end up in the tarball. And tarfile then fails to unpack the tarball. One such package is 'plone.app.controlpanel 1.0a2' (http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/source/p/plone.app.controlpanel/plone.app.controlpanel-1.0a2.tar.gz#md5=2b2afeaba0d067f6b1a6707c6d69311d), with the following traceback: C:\DOCUME~1\Sidnei\LOCALS~1\Temp>easy_install -f . plone.app.controlpanel Searching for plone.app.controlpanel Best match: plone.app.controlpanel 1.0a2 Processing plone.app.controlpanel-1.0a2.tar.gz Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Python24\Scripts\easy_install-script.py", line 7, in ? sys.exit( File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg\setuptools\comm and\easy_install.py", line 1670, in main with_ei_usage(lambda: File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg\setuptools\comm and\easy_install.py", line 1659, in with_ei_usage return f() File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg\setuptools\comm and\easy_install.py", line 1674, in <lambda> distclass=DistributionWithoutHelpCommands, **kw File "C:\Python24\lib\distutils\core.py", line 149, in setup dist.run_commands() File "C:\Python24\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 946, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "C:\Python24\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 966, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg\setuptools\comm and\easy_install.py", line 211, in run self.easy_install(spec, not self.no_deps) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg\setuptools\comm and\easy_install.py", line 446, in easy_install return self.install_item(spec, dist.location, tmpdir, deps) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg\setuptools\comm and\easy_install.py", line 471, in install_item dists = self.install_eggs(spec, download, tmpdir) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg\setuptools\comm and\easy_install.py", line 626, in install_eggs unpack_archive(dist_filename, tmpdir, self.unpack_progress) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg\setuptools\arch ive_util.py", line 67, in unpack_archive driver(filename, extract_dir, progress_filter) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg\setuptools\arch ive_util.py", line 192, in unpack_tarfile tarobj._extract_member(member,dst) # XXX Ugh File "C:\Python24\lib\tarfile.py", line 1440, in _extract_member self.utime(tarinfo, targetpath) File "C:\Python24\lib\tarfile.py", line 1572, in utime raise ExtractError, "could not change modification time" tarfile.ExtractError: could not change modification time I'm left wondering if the issue is: a) Windows b) The nasty OS X file c) The Python 'tarfile' module d) setuptools e) None of the above :) Thoughts? -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems http://enfoldsystems.com Fax +1 832 201 8856 Office +1 713 942 2377 Ext 214 _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
