devpi 1.1

systematically test pypi/mirror code against all 34K pypi projects so that we know that all http/https installable archive links that pypi offers are correctly recognized by devpi-server’s root/pypi index.

if no pypi mirror state is known, devpi-server now calls pypi to obtain names/serials. It will fail to start if no such initial connection is possible. Once a first mirror state is known, subsequent devpi-server starts will not perform this initial query.

speed up and make more reliable all operations on private packages which have no pypi.python.org release: we can now determine if a project exists on pypi and under which name exactly without remote queries or redirects to pypi.python.org.

fix issue45: register/upload package names are now properly validated and redirects take place if e.g. a project was registered as “name-sub” and “+simple/name_sub” is queried.

new –upgrade-state command to allow for easy and safe in-place upgrading of server state. This is not guranteed to be possible for all future releases which might require using –export with an older version and –import with a newer version.

new –export/–import options to dump and import server contents: users, indexes, docs, release files and (test) attachments. Note that root/pypi (PyPI-caching information) will not be exported/imported. (maybe in the future if there is demand).

fix issue49: both push and import/export now support docfiles. Note, however, that docfiles relate to a project as a whole and are not tied to a particular version. This property is inherited from the PyPI standard upload_docs action and cannot be changed without interfering or replacing the upload_docs protocol of setuptools/sphinx.

fix issue51: return 200 code if release file is successfully uploaded but jenkins could not be triggered (previously returned 500)

reject simple/NAME if NAME contains non-ascii characters (PEP426 naming rules)

devpi-server now returns a X-DEVPI-API-VERSION and X-DEVPI-SERVER-VERSION header. For future incompatible changes these versions allow clients to reject interactions.

also add “.serverversion” file and write it if it does not exist, and make devpi-server use it to verify if operating on a compatible server data layout, otherwise bail out.

address issue43: –gendeploy now uses pip without –pre and explicitely instructs pip to install the exact same version of devpi-server with which –gendeploy is issued.

fix issue46 – for GET /root/pypi/ only show a link to the simple page instead of computing “latest in-stage packages” which is only useful for devpi’s user indices.

fix issue37: upload with expired login causes proper 401

detect “X-DEVPI-API-VERSION” header and check for compatibility. devpi-client currently supports version “1” and warns if no version is known (defaulting to “1”).

getjson now prints http reply headers if “-v|–verbose” was supplied.

fix issue52: add “–no-vcs” option to force “devpi upload” to not vcs-export files before executing build/upload

fix issue50: introduce “–toxargs” to “devpi test” invocations in order to add arbitrary arguments to tox.

fix issue43: set PIP_PRE environment variable when executing “devpi install …” so that the behaviour between pip < 1.4 and >= 1.4 is normalized to always install development versions.

fix issue47: set PIP_USE_WHEEL with “devpi install …” so that it will automatically pick up wheel files if pip>1.4 is used.

fix issue42: allow to set empty bases for an index, so that it doesn’t inherit anything.

fix issue44: “use -l” doesn’t break when a user has no index

devpi test now invokes tox in-process (by importing tox) rather than a subprocess.

rename “–datadir” to “–serverdir” to better match the also picked up DEVPI_SERVERDIR environment variable.

fix a strange effect in that sometimes tools ask to receive a package url with a “#md5=…” arriving at the server side. We now strip that part out before trying to serve the file.

on startup don’t create any initial indexes other than the “root/pypi” pypi caching mirror.

introduce --start, --stop and --log commands for controling a background devpi-server run. (these commands previously were implemented with the devpi-client and the “server” sub command)

fix issue27: provide full list of pypi names in root/pypi’s simple view (and simple pages from inheriting indices)

default to “eventlet” server when creating deployment with –gendeploy

fix issue25: return 403 Forbidden when trying to delete the root user.

fix name mangling issue for pypi-cache: “project_name*” is now matched correctly when a lookup for “project-name” happens.

fix issue22: don’t bypass CDN by default, rather provide an “–bypass-cdn” option to do it (in case you have cache-invalidation troubles)

fix issue20 and fix issue23: normalize index specs internally (“/root/dev” -> “root/dev”) and check if base indices exist.

add Jenkins build job triggering for running the tests for a package through tox.

inheritance cleanup: inherited versions for a project are now shadowed and not shown anymore with getreleaselinks() or in +simple pages if the “basename” is exactly shadowed.

fix issue16: enrich projectconfig json with a “+shadow” file which lists shadowed “versions”

initial wheel support: accept “whl” uploads and support caching of whl files from pypi.python.org

implemented internal push operation between devpi indexes

show “docs” link if documentation has been uploaded

pushing releases to pypi.python.org will now correctly report the filetype/pyversion in the metadata.

add setting of acl_upload for indexes. Only the owning user and acl_upload users may upload releases, files or documentation to an index.

add –passwd USER option for setting a user’s password server-side

don’t require email setting for creating users

removed server subcommand and options for controling background devpi-server processes to become options of devpi-server itself.

fix issue14: lookup “python” from PATH for upload/packaging activities instead of using “sys.executable” which comes from the interpreter executing the “devpi” script. This allows to alias “devpi” to come from a virtualenv which is separate from the one used to perform packaging.

fix issue35: “devpi index” cleanly errors out if no index is specified or in use.

remember authentication on a per-root basis and cleanup “devpi use” interactions. This makes switching between multiple devpi instances more seemless.

fix issue17: better reporting when “devpi use” does not operate on valid URL

test result upload and access: “devpi test” invokes “tox –result-json …” and uploads the test result log to devpi-server. “devpi list [-f] PKG” shows test result information.

add “uploadtrigger_jenkins” configuration option through “devpi index”.

fix issue19: devpi use now memorizes –venv setting properly. Thanks Laurent.

fix issue16: show files from shadowed versions

initial wheel support: “devpi upload –format=bdist_wheel” now uploads a wheel format file to the index. (XXX “devpi install” will trigger pip commands with option “–use-wheels”.)

fix issue15: docs will now be built via “setup.py build_sphinx” using a internal build dir so that the upload succeeds if conf.py would otherwise specify a non-standard location.

implement and refine “devpi push” command. It now accepts two forms “user/name” for specifying an internal devpi index and “pypi:REPONAME” for specifying a repository which must be defined in a .pypirc file.

remove spurious pdb.set_trace() in devpi install command when no pip can be found.

show and allow to set “acl_upload” for uploading priviliges

add longer descriptions to each sub command, shown with “devpi COMMAND -h”.

removed pytestplugin support for now (pytest reporting directly to devpi-server)

fix issue where lookups into subpages of the simple index (simple/NAME/VER) would not trigger a 404 as they should.

fix uploading by adding setup.py’s dir to sys.path: setup.py files that import modules/packages for obtaining versions etc. now work. Thanks jbasko.

fix automatic devpi-server startup on python26/windows

fixed issue9: caching of packages where upstream provides no last-modified header now works.

fixed issue8: only http/https archives are allowed and other schemes (such as ftp) are silently skipped

added support for REST DELETE methods of projects and versions on an index

added “argcomplete” support for tab completion on options (thanks to Anthon van der Neut)

new “devpi list” command to show projects of the in-use index or all release files of a project with “devpi list PROJECTNAME”.

new “devpi remove” command to remove releases from the current index, including any contained release files

added “argcomplete” support for tab completion on options (thanks to Anthon van der Neut)

fix /USER/INDEXNAME root views to contain only latest in-stage packages

make +api calls return bases so that “devpi use” can show them

introduce “devpi upload –fromdir” for uploading archives in bulk mode, thanks to Anthon van der Neut for helping with this! (resolved issue5)

improve automatic server handling via “devpi use”

for “devpi server” you now need to specify “–log” to see log lines

make “devpi use” also show base indexes by default

fix issue4: auto-server data stored in non-dot dir

return 404 for submits to root/pypi

properly sorted release file links on stage indexes

“push” method on indexes for transfering release files to another pypi index

properly handle urls from indexes with ~ and other special chars

fix root/pypi and root/dev page serving in various cases

refined “python setup.py” calls from devpi upload with proper __file__ attributes. Thanks Andi Albrecht.

implemented new “devpi push” command for pushing out releases

improved error handling for devpi upload

fix logoff if not logged in

don’t use –force-reinstall when using pip
