The badges

I changed the markup for showing the “badges” in the setup_info.py files of The lino package, Lino Extensions Library and Developer Guide.

Instead of defining a lot of .. image:: directives, I use a single .. raw:: html directive. This is mainly to avoid warnings when building the doc tree (so that I can set inv.tolerate_sphinx_warnings back to False). Another benefit is that the code gets less complex because we define everything in one place and don’t need to invent additional unique names.

Last optimizations for Lino Care

Today I finished the list of optimizations after my last meeting with Annalisa for #1128 (at least those which I should implement ASAP).

Deploy to The Lino framework

16.16 (GMT+2) : I did an upgrade on The Lino framework. Sorry if you had slow response times.

Newbie documentation

The inv test_sdist command

The inv test_sdist command is failing in Lino Noi. The problem is that I don’t know how to explain to pip what I want:

  • for all my projects, install the version at inv.sdist_dir

  • for all external projects, use PyPI

I tried with:

$ pip install -f SDIST_DIR lino-noi

which lino-noi from SDIST_DIR, but lino and lino-xl are installed from PyPI despite the fact that there is also an archive file for them in SDIST_DIR.

I tried with:

$ pip install --no-index -f SDIST_DIR --extra-index-url https://pypi.python.org/simple lino-noi

which fails because it never looks up PyPI, even external packages:

Collecting lino-noi
Collecting lino-xl (from lino-noi)
Collecting appy (from lino-xl->lino-noi)
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement appy (from lino-xl->lino-noi) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for appy (from lino-xl->lino-noi)

What else can I try?!

I asked this on https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3959
