Hi.
Currently setuptools only support a ``tag-svn-revision`` option.
However I use Mercurial, and I would like to tag hg revisions.
Looking at setuptool sources, it should not hard to add a new
``tag-revision`` option, used, as an example:
--tag-revision=hg
In egg_info command class, then, the tags method could do something like:
def tags(self):
version = ''
if self.tag_build:
version+=self.tag_build
if self.tag_revision:
for ep in iter_entry_points(
'setuptools.tag_revision', self.tag_revision):
version += '-r%s' % ep.load()()
# Only use first entry point
break
This won't work correctly unless you have only one such plugin
installed, so the feature needs to be explicitly configured for one
specific plugin.
elif os.path.exists('PKG-INFO'):
version += '-r%s' % get_pkg_info_revision()
if self.tag_date:
import time; version += time.strftime("-%Y%m%d")
return version
The current ``--tag-svn-revision`` will become an alias for
``--tag-revision=svn``, and support will be directly available in
setuptools.
I don't know if setuptools is still under development (this topic seems
quite confused, for me), but can I write a patch, hoping that it will be
accepted?
Where should I send the patch?
Attach it to this outstanding feature request:
http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue42
As you'll see, there's been some previous discussion for this, and I
do plan to make pluggable revision support available in 0.7. It will
probably be similar to the most recent patch attached to that issue,
with a change to the option name and a few other tweaks.
