0.9.6.2 mis-packaged?
Kyle VanderBeek
packaged to make using Pylons on Fedora (and eventually RHEL) easy. I
was going to update my proposed package to 0.9.6.2, but there seems to
problems with the tarball that make me nervous.
For example, the docs/ directory has vanished and the LICENSE and
CHANGELOG files aren't there. Additionally, there are a number of
strange "._" duplicate files like this:
Pylons-0.9.6.2/pylons/.___init__.py
Pylons-0.9.6.2/pylons/__init__.py
Pylons-0.9.6.2/pylons/._commands.py
Pylons-0.9.6.2/pylons/commands.py
Pylons-0.9.6.2/pylons/._config.py
Pylons-0.9.6.2/pylons/config.py
Pylons-0.9.6.2/pylons/._configuration.py
Pylons-0.9.6.2/pylons/configuration.py
This makes me think something went wrong when rolling the new version
tarball (possibly a dirty or incomplete workspace). Thoughts?

This looks like some sort of mercurial artifact. How are packages
being rolled for release? "python setup.py sdist" should roll these
cleanly without this sort of problem.

It's actually a Leopard issue. There's a known issue with these _files
being packaged in tars on OSX, prior to OSX 10.5, there was an
environment flag that fixed the problem by forcing the OSX tar to not
include them. It appears that since moving to OSX 10.5, this
environment variables no longer works, and these damn files are back
again. I'll likely need to move my packaging off to a separate linux
host to avoid having these files included in the future.
If you're packaging these packages for an OS distro, please feel free
to remove them from the package.
Cheers,

much of a worry there (other than the potential to confuse people who
notice them). I'm more concerned with the missing CHANGELOG and
LICENSE files, as well as the entire docs/ directory from the Pylons
0.9.6.2 tarball. Perhaps a more cleanly rolled 0.9.6.3 is appropriate?
