The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* cygport-0.24.0-1
cygport is the standard method for building and maintaining packages for
the Cygwin distribution.
This release features many changes in Python packaging:
* The preferred packaging method for Python modules is now
python-wheel.cygclass. It can be used for both archful and noarch modules
to build packages for both Python 2 and 3 automatically. This requires the
new python*-pip packages and their dependencies.
* The new python.org.cygclass defines HOMEPAGE and SRC_URI for PyPI-hosted
sources.
* Python modules in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y are byte-compiled automatically with
the matching Python interpreter. Calling python*_optimize without
arguments is now a no-op, but remains for when a package-specific directory
(e.g. /usr/share/$NAME) is specified.
* Everything named with a 'python' or 'PYTHON' prefix now uses 'python2' or
'PYTHON2' instead. The old names remain for compatibility.
