Ran Ziv created ARIA-384:
----------------------------
Summary: egg-info directory not cleaned during "make clean" and
may cause stale dist
Key: ARIA-384
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIA-384
Project: AriaTosca
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Ran Ziv
When using the [release
script|https://github.com/apache/incubator-ariatosca/blob/master/release/asf-release.sh]
to create releases, it seems like in some cases the dist created may be
"stale" e.g. after updating the {{manifest}} file, if the {{egg-info}}
directory exists in the top-level directory of the project and is not cleaned.
The {{Makefile}}'s "clean" directive originally ran a command to clean the
{{egg-info}} dir - However it was removed, because if the directory is removed,
any editable installations of ARIA (i.e. "pip install -e" installations) will
no longer detect the ARIA package as installed.
Rather than figuring out how to overcome this "staleness" problem, or
alternatively cleaning up {{egg-info}} during release creation and then setting
the {{egg-info}} dir back up, it'd probably be best to simply create releases
on a separate, clean environment, where ARIA is installed normally and not in
editable mode.
