Geoffrey T. Dairiki has a bdist_deb command http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1054967&group_id=5470&atid=305470 [http://www.egenix.com/ eGenix] uses its own extensions to distutils in the various egenix-mx packages called mxSetup.py. Among other things this module contains support for building Unix libraries, limited autoconf support, uninstall command and a clever build_ext command that allows to disable building extensions/packages from the command line and also supports building optional extensions (depending on the availability of certain include and library files). |
Please add a listing to this page if you're working on Distutils (and help us reduce duplication of effort).
