Hi,
While reading the PEP I noticed that there seems to be no straightforward
to specify the package release versions.
>>> egginfo_dirname('python-ldap', '2.3.10')
'python_ldap-2.3.10.egg-info'
Consider the following PyPM package file name:
python-ldap-2.3.10_linux-x86_2.6_2.pypm
Here 2.3.10 is python-ldap's version, 2.6 is the Python version .. and 2
(the last component) is the binary release number (for ActiveState
repository). This is to upgrade previous releases of the same python-ldap
(say, python-ldap-2.3.10_linux-x86_2.6_1.pypm).
If PyPM is to rely on PEP 376 style .egg-info directories (and the RECORD
files within them), how is it to store/retrieve this release number?
Currently we store everything (including RECORD) in a sqlite database
under site-packages. I can continue using the db for release numbers
alone, but I really prefer that this is covered by a standard that
evidently provides support for installer tools.
