7.0.0 beta & RC tarballs contain precompiled Python objects

[Bas Couwenberg]

The release tarballs contain precompiled Python objects, which lintian warns about during the Debian package build process.

The attached patch adds the removal of .pyc files to the release instructions.

The following precompiled Python objects are included the tarball for 7.0.0RC1:

Thanks for reporting this.

The following directories are affected:

make distclean

find . -name '*.pyc' | rev | cut -d'/' -f2- | rev | sort -u
./gui/wxpython/core
./gui/wxpython/gui_core
./gui/wxpython/icons
./gui/wxpython/lmgr
./gui/wxpython/location_wizard
./gui/wxpython/mapdisp
./gui/wxpython/mapwin
./gui/wxpython/modules
./gui/wxpython/nviz
./gui/wxpython/wxplot

IMHO we need to fix "make distclean" here (fixing the release procedure is rather a work around)

How about this:

I just checked, in theory the *.pyc removal is in the "make clean" target:

​http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/include/Make/Rules.make#L47

I suppose that it does not descend into the subdirs mentioned in #comment:1 which will be an issue in gui/wxpython/Makefile

None of the directories containing .pyc files have a Makefile, and those directories are not included in the SUBDIRS list in gui/wxpython/Makefile.

I suppose the fix could be to include a minimal Makefile in those directories that does not nothing except include the clean target for the .pyc removal.

[cmbarton]

I don't know if this is the cause or not, but these are the modules that always generate errors during compilation on the Mac.

[neteler]

Cleanup of *.pyc added in r64324 (trunk) and r64325 (relbranch70).

It includes, just to be sure, also the suggested cleanup command in the release procedure.

Thanks, closing.

FWIW, I am still getting errors during compilation of 7.0 release branch for the following:

I believe you meant to post it to #1819.

Also here are some tips on using Trac Tickets: To insert things verbatim, use {{{ and }}} on separate lines before and after the verbatim text. This is especially advantageous for program outputs where you want to safe newlines and other whitespace. See WikiFormatting linked above the input box for more options. To ensure that it is working as you intended, you can use Preview button at the bottom.
