#191 closed defect (wontfix)

The Setuptools Way Section in the Readme Makes Unsupportable Assertions

Reported by: arch_o_median Owned by: arch_o_median
Priority: minor Milestone: eventually
Component: documentation Version: 0.6.1
Keywords: Cc:
Launchpad Bug:

Description

"Snip 1" is end of output produced by:

"/home/arc/tahoe> sudo python setup.py install"

Snip 1: Installing tahoe script to /usr/bin

Installed

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/allmydata_tahoe-0.6.1_31-py2.5-linux-i686.egg Processing dependencies for allmydata-tahoe==0.6.1-31 end Snip 1:

Claim made in README: "Run 'python setup.py install'. This will compile and install the Tahoe code to the standard location for your operating system (on unix, that is somewhere inside /usr/lib/)."

Begin Snip 2: 0 arc@coelacanth /home/arc/tahoe> ls /usr/lib/ | grep ta tasksel

End Snip 2.

Perhaps I have misinterpreted the definition of Unix... or perhaps the "Tahoe code" has a name that is not obvious....

  • Milestone changed from undecided to 0.6.2
  • Owner changed from somebody to arch_o_median

archie:

Another good catch!

The tahoe library (which is the part whose name ends with ".egg") gets installed into /usr/lib, and the tahoe executable (whose name is "tahoe") gets installed into /usr/bin.

Will you fix the README or shall I?

Saturday.

Arc: now would be a fine time to submit a patch to the README about this.

Later would also work.

  • Milestone changed from 0.7.1 to undecided

This text now lives in docs/install-details.html. This text still needs some good lovin' from a good writer.

I'm thinking of killing the docs/install-details.html instead of reviving it. If I do I'll close this bug with resolution = wontfix.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

The documentation which had the issue has been completely thrown out and/or rewritten since this issue was filed. Closing as "wontfix".
