ANN: dh-virtualenv 0.8 released

2014-10-02 Thread Jyrki Pulliainen
Hello,

I'm pleased to announce that we at Spotify have released dh-virtualenv
0.8! Dh-virtualenv
is a packaging tool that makes it possible to package virtualenvs inside
Debian packages.

dh-virtualenv works by registering itself as a part of debhelper sequence,
so pretty much any pre-existing Debian build system you have should be
compatible with it.

Changelog since version 0.8:
- Support for running triggers upon host interpreter update. This new
 feature makes it possible to
  upgrade the host Python interpreter  and avoid breakage of all the
virtualenvs installed with
  dh-virtualenv.
- Support for the built-in (Python 3.3+) venv module
- Ability to pass custom pip arguments to be passed with --extra-pip-args
flag

I would like to thank all the contributors and especially Jürgen Hermann
for implementing the Python interpreter trigger!

For more information, see documentation here:
http://dh-virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/0.8/index.html
And source code here: https://github.com/spotify/dh-virtualenv/tree/0.8

ANN: dh-virtualenv 0.7 released

2014-06-05 Thread Jyrki Pulliainen
Hello,

We at Spotify have released dh-virtualenv 0.7! Dh-virtualenv is a packaging
tool that makes it possible to package virtualenvs inside Debian packages.

dh-virtualenv works by registering itself as a part of debhelper sequence,
so pretty much any pre-existing Debian build system you have should be
compatible with it.

Changelog since version 0.6:
- Backwards incompatible Support running tests. This change breaks builds
that use distutils. For those cases a flag --no-test needs to be passed.
- Add tutorial to documentation
- Don’t crash on debbuild parameters -i and -a
- Support custom source directory (debhelper’s flag -D)

For more information, see documentation here:
http://dh-virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/0.7/index.html
And source code here: https://github.com/spotify/dh-virtualenv/tree/0.7

 dh-virtualenv 0.7 is also installable via apt on Debian Testing (jessie)
