Gentoo ebuild

[thijs]

A  gentoo ebuild for PyAMF would be nice to have.

Looks like Gentoo is also looking for a maintainer for the PyAMF package:  http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=260029

[mzeidler]

i've hacked an ebuild for gentoo installing pyamf-0.4.1 supporting tests. tests are triggered by the use-flag 'test' and FEATURES="test" (see /etc/make.conf) or by setting the variables directly on shell like:

$ FEATURES="test" emerge dev-python/pyamf

 http://pyamf.org/raw-attachment/ticket/504/pyamf-0.4.1.ebuild

this ebuild also supports the runtime dependencies:

    if sys.version_info < (2, 5):
        elementtree >= 1.2.6
        fpconst>=0.7.2

Due to that no ebuild yet exists for dev-python/uuid the following could not be achieved:

    if sys.version_info < (2, 5):
        uuid>=1.30

[mzeidler]

There also seem to exist other dependencies that haven't been map so far:

extras_require = {
        'wsgi': ['wsgiref'],
        'twisted': ['Twisted>=2.5.0'],
        'django': ['Django>=0.96'],
        'sqlalchemy': ['SQLAlchemy>=0.4'],
        'cython': ['Cython>=0.10'],
    },

These are needed for these Features:

• Remoting gateways for Twisted, Django, Google App Engine, Pylons,  TurboGears2,  Web2Py and any compatible  WSGI framework
• Adapter Framework to integrate nicely with third-party Python projects including  Django, Google App Engine and SQLAlchemy.

i think the remoting gateways are optional this means that for each option there should be a use-flag provided: twisted, django, pylons, turbogear, wsgiref, mod_wsgi Must the appropriate files been copyied to specific directories on the filesystem ?

As pyamf/tests/adapters/test_sqlalchemy.py obviously needs sqlalchemy how should this dependencies been triggered? Generally when the test use-flag is in use to not break the unit-testing? or should the test_sqlalchemy.py been left out, when the sqlalchemy use-flag is not set but the test use-flag.

Also its unclear whether to introduce a use-flag for the c-extensions (cPyAMF)

to disable the c-extension:
python setup.py install --disable-ext

If that should be possible we would have to introduce the dependency to setuptools then.

Also because of that unit-tests are triggered by using setup.py we do need the build-dependency setuptools

python setup.py test

Ebuild for dev-python/pyamf-0.4.1

What is the default Python version on the current Gentoo releases? If it's 2.5 or newer then we don't need any of those dependencies as they're all included in the standard lib or fixed in some way.

Correct, they're optional.

Must the appropriate files been copyied to specific directories on the filesystem ?

What files and specific directories are you referring to?

As pyamf/tests/adapters/test_sqlalchemy.py obviously needs sqlalchemy how should this dependencies been triggered? Generally when the test use-flag is in use to not break the unit-testing? or should the test_sqlalchemy.py been left out, when the sqlalchemy use-flag is not set but the test use-flag.

SQLAlchemy is an optional dependency, and the unit tests will be skipped if SQLAlchemy (or any other dependency) can't be found.

Also its unclear whether to introduce a use-flag for the c-extensions (cPyAMF)

to disable the c-extension:
python setup.py install --disable-ext

If that should be possible we would have to introduce the dependency to setuptools then.

Also because of that unit-tests are triggered by using setup.py we do need the build-dependency setuptools

python setup.py test

Yes setuptools is not an optional dependency and is required by PyAMF.

I checked your attached ebuild and while I'm not experienced with gentoo it seems that you require Twisted version 8.1.0 or newer but this should be 2.5.0 or newer. Assigning back to you.

The default python slot (slots enable the installation of different versions of one packet) is '2.5' besides '2.4' and '2.6'.

[U] dev-lang/python
     Available versions:  
        (2.4)   2.4.4-r5 2.4.4-r6 2.4.4-r14 ~2.4.4-r15
        (2.5)   2.5.2-r7 ~2.5.2-r8 2.5.4-r2

     Description:         Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.

The current stable version for slot '2.5' is '2.5.4-r2' at the moment (so I should update here on my box ;). As there is a '2.4' slot we would need these conditions to be met.

I meant the web framework specific ones. But I do assume that no files need to be copied.

As pyamf/tests/adapters/test_sqlalchemy.py obviously needs sqlalchemy how should this dependencies been triggered? Generally when the test use-flag is in use to not break the unit-testing? or should the test_sqlalchemy.py been left out, when the sqlalchemy use-flag is not set but the test use-flag.

Yes setuptools is not an optional dependency and is required by PyAMF.

As I have heared about rumours at the PyCon 2009 that setuptools will get obsolete in the near future other alternatives should taken into account. But at the moment nothing is official.

the following output about gathering information about version of twisted produces the following. There are no 2.5.0 versions of twisted anymore in the portage tree as they were removed long time ago. Therefor I will close the ticket again:
