http://docs.openstack.org/developer/pbr/ pbr - Python Build Reasonableness - A library for managing setuptools packaging needs in a consistent manner. pbr reads and then filters the setup.cfg data through a setup hook to fill in default values and provide more sensible behaviors, and then feeds the results in as the arguments to a call to setup.py - so the heavy lifting of handling python packaging needs is still being done by setuptools. What It Does - PBR can and does do a bunch of things for you: - *Version*: Manage version number based on git revisions and tags - *AUTHORS*: Generate AUTHORS file from git log - *ChangeLog*: Generate ChangeLog from git log - *Sphinx Autodoc*: Generate autodoc stub files for your whole module - *Requirements*: Store your dependencies in a pip requirements file - *long_description*: Use your README file as a long_description - *Smart find_packages*: Smartly find packages under your root package -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
