collective.dist Distutils commands to upload files to several servers ======================= collective.dist package ======================= .. contents:: What is collective.dist ? ========================= I have added in Python 2.6 a new feature to allow people to deal with several PyPlike servers in .pypirc. Basically you can use register and upload commands on any server registered in .pypirc, which changed a bit. But Plone and Zope runs on Python 2.4. So this package adds two new commands so you can use what will be available in the core in 2.6: - **mupload**: command that allows uploading the package to several servers - **mregister**: command that allow registering to several servers How to use collective.dist ? ============================ **mregister** and **mupload** are replacing `register` and `upload` command and work with an extended version of the `.pypirc` file. In order to work with it, change your .pypirc file this way:: [distutils] index-servers = pypi [pypi] username:user password:password Where `user` and `password` are your `PyPI` users. You can then start to use the commands, instead of the usual `register` and `upload` calls. A typical call to upload your file would be:: $ python setup.py mregister sdist bdist_egg mupload To deal with several PyPI-like servers, you can add them in your `.pypirc` file:: [distutils] index-servers = pypi another [pypi] username:user password:password [another] repository:http://another.pypi.server username:user2 password:password2 Then work with it, with the `-r` option:: $ python setup.py mregister sdist bdist_egg mupload -r http://another.pypi.server You can even use the section name instead of the url:: $ python setup.py mregister sdist bdist_egg mupload -r another And use an alias to make the code simpler:: $ python setup.py alias to_another mregister sdist bdist_egg mupload -r another # creates the alias $ python setup.py to_another # run the whole sequence Another usage is to deal with several profiles on PyPI:: [distutils] index-servers = pypi pypi-personal [pypi] username:user password:password [pypi-personal] username:user2 password:password2 trunk (2008-09-26) ================== - xxx [Ingeniweb] History ======= 0.2.0 (Unreleased) :::::::::::::::::: - added more docs 0.1.9 (2008-05-04) :::::::::::::::::: - moved to collective namespace 0.1.8 (2008-04-02) :::::::::::::::::: - Fixed the list_classifier call 0.1.7 ::::: - Fixed the -r option in mregister, thanks to Matthew Wilkes 0.1.6 ::::: - fixed realm and repository initialization, thanks to Malthe Borch - making sure a specific error is raised when the repository does not exists - fixed url in metadata - make sure the .pypirc file is properly created - make sure the -r option is taken from anywhere in the command line 0.1.5 ::::: - fixed non-default pypi upload - now uses the HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH variable if home is not found. 0.1.4 ::::: - changed default pypi 0.1.3 ::::: - fixed 2.4 calls - make sure the metadata can contain non ascii chars 0.1.2 ::::: - now we have the very same code than the proposed patch to python 2.6 0.1.1 ::::: - "host" become "repository", accordingly to Python 2.5 - added a better README 0.1.0 ::::: - added support for `mregister` and `mupload` commands - initial version created by IngeniSkel Tarek Ziade ce647768fc2915c7851be5591bf96a90966761ef 0.2.0
