The new download process is - to first just try dl.sourceforge.net, then randomly select mirror IPs and - remove ones that fail, until something works. The removed IPs stay removed - for the remainder of the run. - - * Ignore bdist_dumb distributions when looking at download URLs. - -0.6a11 - * Process ``dependency_links.txt`` if found in a distribution, by adding the - URLs to the list for scanning. - - * Use relative paths in ``.pth`` files when eggs are being installed to the - same directory as the ``.pth`` file. This maximizes portability of the - target directory when building applications that contain eggs. - - * Added ``easy_install-N.N`` script(s) for convenience when using multiple - Python versions. - - * Added automatic handling of installation conflicts. Eggs are now shifted to - the front of sys.path, in an order consistent with where they came from, - making EasyInstall seamlessly co-operate with system package managers. - - The ``--delete-conflicting`` and ``--ignore-conflicts-at-my-risk`` options - are now no longer necessary, and will generate warnings at the end of a - run if you use them. - - * Don't recursively traverse subdirectories given to ``--find-links``. - -0.6a10 - * Added exhaustive testing of the install directory, including a spawn test - for ``.pth`` file support, and directory writability/existence checks. This - should virtually eliminate the need to set or configure ``--site-dirs``. - - * Added ``--prefix`` option for more do-what-I-mean-ishness in the absence of - RTFM-ing. :) - - * Enhanced ``PYTHONPATH`` support so that you don't have to put any eggs on it - manually to make it work. ``--multi-version`` is no longer a silent - default; you must explicitly use it if installing to a non-PYTHONPATH, - non-"site" directory. - - * Expand ``$variables`` used in the ``--site-dirs``, ``--build-directory``, - ``--install-dir``, and ``--script-dir`` options, whether on the command line - or in configuration files. - - * Improved SourceForge mirror processing to work faster and be less affected - by transient HTML changes made by SourceForge. - - * PyPI searches now use the exact spelling of requirements specified on the - command line or in a project's ``install_requires``. Previously, a - normalized form of the name was used, which could lead to unnecessary - full-index searches when a project's name had an underscore (``_``) in it. - - * EasyInstall can now download bare ``.py`` files and wrap them in an egg, - as long as you include an ``#egg=name-version`` suffix on the URL, or if - the ``.py`` file is listed as the "Download URL" on the project's PyPI page. - This allows third parties to "package" trivial Python modules just by - linking to them (e.g. from within their own PyPI page or download links - page). - - * The ``--always-copy`` option now skips "system" and "development" eggs since - they can't be reliably copied. Note that this may cause EasyInstall to - choose an older version of a package than what you expected, or it may cause - downloading and installation of a fresh version of what's already installed. - - * The ``--find-links`` option previously scanned all supplied URLs and - directories as early as possible, but now only directories and direct - archive links are scanned immediately. URLs are not retrieved unless a - package search was already going to go online due to a package not being - available locally, or due to the use of the ``--update`` or ``-U`` option. - - * Fixed the annoying ``--help-commands`` wart. - -0.6a9 - * Fixed ``.pth`` file processing picking up nested eggs (i.e. ones inside - "baskets") when they weren't explicitly listed in the ``.pth`` file. - - * If more than one URL appears to describe the exact same distribution, prefer - the shortest one. This helps to avoid "table of contents" CGI URLs like the - ones on effbot.org. - - * Quote arguments to python.exe (including python's path) to avoid problems - when Python (or a script) is installed in a directory whose name contains - spaces on Windows. - - * Support full roundtrip translation of eggs to and from ``bdist_wininst`` - format. Running ``bdist_wininst`` on a setuptools-based package wraps the - egg in an .exe that will safely install it as an egg (i.e., with metadata - and entry-point wrapper scripts), and ``easy_install`` can turn the .exe - back into an ``.egg`` file or directory and install it as such. - -0.6a8 - * Update for changed SourceForge mirror format - - * Fixed not installing dependencies for some packages fetched via Subversion - - * Fixed dependency installation with ``--always-copy`` not using the same - dependency resolution procedure as other operations. - - * Fixed not fully removing temporary directories on Windows, if a Subversion - checkout left read-only files behind - - * Fixed some problems building extensions when Pyrex was installed, especially - with Python 2.4 and/or packages using SWIG. - -0.6a7 - * Fixed not being able to install Windows script wrappers using Python 2.3 - -0.6a6 - * Added support for "traditional" PYTHONPATH-based non-root installation, and - also the convenient ``virtual-python.py`` script, based on a contribution - by Ian Bicking. The setuptools egg now contains a hacked ``site`` module - that makes the PYTHONPATH-based approach work with .pth files, so that you - can get the full EasyInstall feature set on such installations. - - * Added ``--no-deps`` and ``--allow-hosts`` options. - - * Improved Windows ``.exe`` script wrappers so that the script can have the - same name as a module without confusing Python. - - * Changed dependency processing so that it's breadth-first, allowing a - depender's preferences to override those of a dependee, to prevent conflicts - when a lower version is acceptable to the dependee, but not the depender. - Also, ensure that currently installed/selected packages aren't given - precedence over ones desired by a package being installed, which could - cause conflict errors. - -0.6a3 - * Improved error message when trying to use old ways of running - ``easy_install``. Removed the ability to run via ``python -m`` or by - running ``easy_install.py``; ``easy_install`` is the command to run on all - supported platforms. - - * Improved wrapper script generation and runtime initialization so that a - VersionConflict doesn't occur if you later install a competing version of a - needed package as the default version of that package. - - * Fixed a problem parsing version numbers in ``#egg=`` links. - -0.6a2 - * EasyInstall can now install "console_scripts" defined by packages that use - ``setuptools`` and define appropriate entry points. On Windows, console - scripts get an ``.exe`` wrapper so you can just type their name. On other - platforms, the scripts are installed without a file extension. - - * Using ``python -m easy_install`` or running ``easy_install.py`` is now - DEPRECATED, since an ``easy_install`` wrapper is now available on all - platforms. - -0.6a1 - * EasyInstall now does MD5 validation of downloads from PyPI, or from any link - that has an "#md5=..." trailer with a 32-digit lowercase hex md5 digest. - - * EasyInstall now handles symlinks in target directories by removing the link, - rather than attempting to overwrite the link's destination. This makes it - easier to set up an alternate Python "home" directory (as described above in - the `Non-Root Installation`_ section). - - * Added support for handling MacOS platform information in ``.egg`` filenames, - based on a contribution by Kevin Dangoor. You may wish to delete and - reinstall any eggs whose filename includes "darwin" and "Power_Macintosh", - because the format for this platform information has changed so that minor - OS X upgrades (such as 10.4.1 to 10.4.2) do not cause eggs built with a - previous OS version to become obsolete. - - * easy_install's dependency processing algorithms have changed. When using - ``--always-copy``, it now ensures that dependencies are copied too. When - not using ``--always-copy``, it tries to use a single resolution loop, - rather than recursing. - - * Fixed installing extra ``.pyc`` or ``.pyo`` files for scripts with ``.py`` - extensions. - - * Added ``--site-dirs`` option to allow adding custom "site" directories. - Made ``easy-install.pth`` work in platform-specific alternate site - directories (e.g. ``~/Library/Python/2.x/site-packages`` on Mac OS X). - - * If you manually delete the current version of a package, the next run of - EasyInstall against the target directory will now remove the stray entry - from the ``easy-install.pth`` file. - - * EasyInstall now recognizes URLs with a ``#egg=project_name`` fragment ID - as pointing to the named project's source checkout. Such URLs have a lower - match precedence than any other kind of distribution, so they'll only be - used if they have a higher version number than any other available - distribution, or if you use the ``--editable`` option. The ``#egg`` - fragment can contain a version if it's formatted as ``#egg=proj-ver``, - where ``proj`` is the project name, and ``ver`` is the version number. You - *must* use the format for these values that the ``bdist_egg`` command uses; - i.e., all non-alphanumeric runs must be condensed to single underscore - characters. - - * Added the ``--editable`` option; see `Editing and Viewing Source Packages`_ - above for more info. Also, slightly changed the behavior of the - ``--build-directory`` option. - - * Fixed the setup script sandbox facility not recognizing certain paths as - valid on case-insensitive platforms. - -0.5a12 - * Fix ``python -m easy_install`` not working due to setuptools being installed - as a zipfile. Update safety scanner to check for modules that might be used - as ``python -m`` scripts. - - * Misc. fixes for win32.exe support, including changes to support Python 2.4's - changed ``bdist_wininst`` format. - -0.5a10 - * Put the ``easy_install`` module back in as a module, as it's needed for - ``python -m`` to run it! - - * Allow ``--find-links/-f`` to accept local directories or filenames as well - as URLs. - -0.5a9 - * EasyInstall now automatically detects when an "unmanaged" package or - module is going to be on ``sys.path`` ahead of a package you're installing, - thereby preventing the newer version from being imported. By default, it - will abort installation to alert you of the problem, but there are also - new options (``--delete-conflicting`` and ``--ignore-conflicts-at-my-risk``) - available to change the default behavior. (Note: this new feature doesn't - take effect for egg files that were built with older ``setuptools`` - versions, because they lack the new metadata file required to implement it.) - - * The ``easy_install`` distutils command now uses ``DistutilsError`` as its - base error type for errors that should just issue a message to stderr and - exit the program without a traceback. - - * EasyInstall can now be given a path to a directory containing a setup - script, and it will attempt to build and install the package there. - - * EasyInstall now performs a safety analysis on module contents to determine - whether a package is likely to run in zipped form, and displays - information about what modules may be doing introspection that would break - when running as a zipfile. - - * Added the ``--always-unzip/-Z`` option, to force unzipping of packages that - would ordinarily be considered safe to unzip, and changed the meaning of - ``--zip-ok/-z`` to "always leave everything zipped". - -0.5a8 - * There is now a separate documentation page for `setuptools`_; revision - history that's not specific to EasyInstall has been moved to that page. - - .. _setuptools: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools - -0.5a5 - * Made ``easy_install`` a standard ``setuptools`` command, moving it from - the ``easy_install`` module to ``setuptools.command.easy_install``. Note - that if you were importing or extending it, you must now change your imports - accordingly. ``easy_install.py`` is still installed as a script, but not as - a module. - -0.5a4 - * Added ``--always-copy/-a`` option to always copy needed packages to the - installation directory, even if they're already present elsewhere on - sys.path. (In previous versions, this was the default behavior, but now - you must request it.) - - * Added ``--upgrade/-U`` option to force checking PyPI for latest available - version(s) of all packages requested by name and version, even if a matching - version is available locally. - - * Added automatic installation of dependencies declared by a distribution - being installed. These dependencies must be listed in the distribution's - ``EGG-INFO`` directory, so the distribution has to have declared its - dependencies by using setuptools. If a package has requirements it didn't - declare, you'll still have to deal with them yourself. (E.g., by asking - EasyInstall to find and install them.) - - * Added the ``--record`` option to ``easy_install`` for the benefit of tools - that run ``setup.py install --record=filename`` on behalf of another - packaging system.) - -0.5a3 - * Fixed not setting script permissions to allow execution. - - * Improved sandboxing so that setup scripts that want a temporary directory - (e.g. pychecker) can still run in the sandbox. - -0.5a2 - * Fix stupid stupid refactoring-at-the-last-minute typos. :( - -0.5a1 - * Added support for converting ``.win32.exe`` installers to eggs on the fly. - EasyInstall will now recognize such files by name and install them. - - * Fixed a problem with picking the "best" version to install (versions were - being sorted as strings, rather than as parsed values) - -0.4a4 - * Added support for the distutils "verbose/quiet" and "dry-run" options, as - well as the "optimize" flag. - - * Support downloading packages that were uploaded to PyPI (by scanning all - links on package pages, not just the homepage/download links). - -0.4a3 - * Add progress messages to the search/download process so that you can tell - what URLs it's reading to find download links. (Hopefully, this will help - people report out-of-date and broken links to package authors, and to tell - when they've asked for a package that doesn't exist.) - -0.4a2 - * Added support for installing scripts - - * Added support for setting options via distutils configuration files, and - using distutils' default options as a basis for EasyInstall's defaults. - - * Renamed ``--scan-url/-s`` to ``--find-links/-f`` to free up ``-s`` for the - script installation directory option. - - * Use ``urllib2`` instead of ``urllib``, to allow use of ``https:`` URLs if - Python includes SSL support. - -0.4a1 - * Added ``--scan-url`` and ``--index-url`` options, to scan download pages - and search PyPI for needed packages. - -0.3a4 - * Restrict ``--build-directory=DIR/-b DIR`` option to only be used with single - URL installs, to avoid running the wrong setup.py. - -0.3a3 - * Added ``--build-directory=DIR/-b DIR`` option. - - * Added "installation report" that explains how to use 'require()' when doing - a multiversion install or alternate installation directory. - - * Added SourceForge mirror auto-select (Contributed by Ian Bicking) - - * Added "sandboxing" that stops a setup script from running if it attempts to - write to the filesystem outside of the build area - - * Added more workarounds for packages with quirky ``install_data`` hacks - -0.3a2 - * Added subversion download support for ``svn:`` and ``svn+`` URLs, as well as - automatic recognition of HTTP subversion URLs (Contributed by Ian Bicking) - - * Misc. bug fixes - -0.3a1 - * Initial release. - - -Future Plans -============ - -* Additional utilities to list/remove/verify packages -* Signature checking?
