Build and upload release to PyPI#
Create the release with the following commands:
$ cd base/common/python
$ python setup.py release
To inspect the files before they are uploaded, do:
$ cd base/common/python
$ python setup.py packages
$ ls dist/
The packages and release aliases are defined in setup.cfg. It creates a source distribution and universal wheel. Then it registers a new version of the package and uploads both files to PyPI. A file can only uploaded once. PyPI refused to replace a file.
setup.py gets the version and release from specs/pki-core.spec. The Python script rewrites itself to include the version number in setup.py and to make the source distribution work without specs/pki-core.spec. Please revert changes to setup.py afterwards.
