![]() Fills in question marks in help Reads scripts in from files rather than strings Adds RPM 2 compatibility mode (untested). Use of this mode requires that --bdist-base be specified because bdist_rpm has no way of detecting where RPM wants to find spec files and source files. An unmodified RedHat 5.0 system would require '--bdist-base=/usr/src/RedHat'. (You would also have to be root.) If the rpmrc file has been modified to allow RPMs to be built by normal users then --build-base would need to be changed accordingly. Formats the changelog. GPW: tweaked formatting, added some editorial comments. |

README
This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages. Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules using the Distutils. Most people will want some documentation and other help, though. Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page: http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/ From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus documentation, test scripts, examples, etc. The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python documentation set, but will be soon.
