2.26.4: Fixed Regression in 2.24.0

Release PR:

#562

Addressed Issues

• #561 timestamp not written to installed package

2.26.3: Package.py permissions issue

Release PR

#560

Addressed Issues

• #559 package.py permissions issue

Notes

Fixes issue where installed package.py can be set to r/w for only the current user.

2.26.2: Package Copy Fixes For Non-Varianted Packages

Release PR

#557

Addressed Issues

• #556 rez-cp briefly copies original package definition in non-varianted packages
• #555 rez-cp inconsistent symlinking when --shallow=true
• #554 rez-cp doesn't keep file metadata in some cases

Notes

There were various minor issues related to copying non-varianted packages.

2.26.1: Bugfix in Package Copy

Release PR

#552

Addressed Issues

• #551 package copy fails if symlinks in root dir

Notes

This was failing when symlinks were present within a non-varianted package being copied. Now, these
symlinks are retained in the target package, unless --follow-symlinks is specified.

2.26.0: Build System Detection Fixes

Release PR

#550

Addressed Issues

• #549 '--build-system' rez-build option not always available

Notes

To fix this issue:

• The '--build-system' rez-build option is now always present.
• To provide further control over the build system type, the package itself can now specify its build
  system - see https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/wiki/Package-Definition-Guide#build_system

COMPATIBILITY ISSUE!

Unfortunately, the 'cmake' build system had its own '--build-system' commandline option also. This
was possible because previous rez versions suppressed the standard '--build-system' option if only
one valid build system was present for a given package working directory. This option has been
changed to '--cmake-build-system'.

RELEASE 2.25.0: Various Build-related issues

PR: #548

Addresses:

• #433: "package_definition_build_python_paths" defined paths are not available from top level in "package.py"
• #442: "rez-depends" and "private_build_requires"
• #416: Need currently-building-variant build variables
• #547: rez-cp follows symlinks within package payload

More details:

The biggest update in this release is the introduction of new variables accessible at early-bind time: building, build_variant_index and build_variant_requires. This allows you to do things like define different private_build_requires per-variant, or a requires that is different at runtime than it is at build time. In order to get this to work, a package.py is now re-evaluated multiple times when a build occurs - once pre-build (where 'building' is set to False), and once per variant build. Please see the updated wiki for more details: https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/wiki/Package-Definition-Guide#available-objects

A new build-time env-var, REZ_BUILD_VARIANT_REQUIRES, has been added. This mirrors the new build_variant_requires var mentioned above.

rez-depends has been updated to only include the private_build_requires of the package being queried (previously, all packages' private build reqs were included, which is not useful). Recall that the previous release fixes the issue where private_build_requires was being stripped from released packages.

The entirety of a package definition file can now see the extra build-time modules available via the package_definition_build_python_paths config setting. Previously, only early bound functions could see these.

There was an issue with package copying (and thus the rez-cp tool) where symlinks within a package's payload were expanded out to their source files at copy time. The default now is to keep such symlinks intact - but hte previous behavior can still be accessed with the rez-cp --follow-symlinks option.

RELEASE 2.24.0: Package Copying

This release adds a new tool, rez-cp, for copying packages/variants from one package repository to another, with optional renaming/reversioning. The associated API can be found in src/package_copy.py.

Addresses:

• #541
• #510
• #477

Fixes included in this release:

• Package definition file writes are now atomic;
• private_build_requires is kept in installed/released packages;
• Fixes include modules not being copied into released packages;
• File lock is no longer created when variant installation happens in dry mode.

RELEASE 2.23.1: Fixed Regression in 2.20.0

Addresses: #532
