| | | | | Add two sections to this manual about package meta-data and about registering packages
* Description of description was really confusing, and added some markup.Thomas Heller2002-12-121-10/+10

* Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script.Thomas Heller2002-12-121-0/+78
| | | | | | | | | | People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably ugly, but this can be fixed later. Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should the MS docs reworded and repeated here?
* Minor markup nits.Fred Drake2002-11-151-4/+5
|
* Document the available command line flags for bdist_wininst, which areThomas Heller2002-11-151-15/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | avaliable in the Python 2.2 branch. I've left out some flags which are more thought for debugging, if someone needs them, he can always look at the output of --help. I'm sure Fred will make some adjustments, so I'll only mark this as a 2.2 bugfix candidate. There are more options available in the current CVS bdist_wininst, I will document them after this is in.
* Correct typo: the option is 'formats' not 'format'.Thomas Heller2002-11-151-1/+1

|
* Add more explanation of how data_files is used (esp. where the files end upFred Drake2002-03-081-2/+13
| | | | in the installation and how that location is determined).

|
* Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet;Fred Drake2001-03-011-65/+141
| | | | | | | | | | | | there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things. Make the snippets of Python code conform to the standard style. Suppress the "Contents" page for HTML; it is not needed for small documents in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links anyway. Various markup consistency nits.
* Fix markup so this document will format.Fred Drake2001-02-191-1/+1
|
* Checked in with Andrew's blessing, I leave the comments with whichThomas Heller2001-02-191-26/+106
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this was posted to distutils-sig in. Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker, nor anything else. Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst (where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff for the data_files and scripts option. Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?
* Fix two typos, and add some omitted \option{} markupAndrew M. Kuchling2001-02-171-7/+7
|
* Updates to reflect pending changes to the XML conversion process.Fred Drake2000-11-221-0/+3
|
* Do not use \verb in the Python documentation -- it makes parsing the LaTeXFred Drake2000-11-221-3/+3
| | | | | sources more difficult and other tools do not always work well with it. Since we have better markup for this case, just fix it.
* Do not require packages that are not needed.Fred Drake2000-10-261-2/+0
|
* Lots of small markup adjustments for consistency with the rest of theFred Drake2000-10-261-24/+25
| | | | documentation.

* Minor wording tweaks.Greg Ward2000-06-251-5/+6
| | | | | | Kludged the extra-wide table that summarizes the manifest template language (works with LaTeX, but is an *evil* kludge and could well break LaTeX2HTML or similar...).
