I'm not sure what is meant by "everyone should install from
source or the native binary for his platform." My
understanding is that Distutils was created to provide a
uniform way to install third party packages.
It seems that bdist_dumb has problems building a package
distribution which will install properly. What about
non-Linux or Windows systems? It rather looks like the code
is unfinished....
To quote the TODO (DISTUTILS 1.1 PLANS):
"* bdist_dumb should grow a little intelligence: let
packager choose
whether to make archive relative to prefix or the root
(prefix is essential for proper Windows support )" |
