Hi all, I am happy to announce BPT 0.3 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bpt
This release solves some important bugs, and the documentation has less TODOs.
Version 0.3 =========== - Improved documentation - Fixed a bug that prevented the ``env`` script to be ``source``\'d (Works only with bash >= 3.0) - Fixed a bug in the creation of symlinks that broken relocatability. - ``env`` script does no more rely on GNU's ``readlink``, that is not present in vanilla OSX - Other minor fixes What is BPT =========== BPT is a Python library (``bpt``) and a command line application (``box``) to create and manage isolated enviroments, or *boxes*. - Boxes are *relocatable*, which means that they can be moved to a different directory or even distributed to other machines (provided that the architecture is compatible). - Packages inside the box can be easily disabled, enabled and removed, so that different versions of the same software can be installed simultaneously, allowing to switch between them. - Boxes can be *nested*, in the sense that it is possible to activate a box environment while inside another box environment, so that all the packages installed in both boxes are available, and so on. BPT is similar in some ways to `virtualenv <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`_, but it is not restricted to Python packages, allowing to install virtually any Unix software. It also takes some ideas from `jhbuild <http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild>`_, but without the dependency resolution and automatic downloading machinery, and the ``bpt-rules`` format is inspired by `Gentoo <http://www.gentoo.org/>`_'s ebuilds.
