[Gnu-arch-users] PyArchitect 1.1.1 released: for newbies and people creating lots of archives

[Robin Green]

PyArchitect 1.1.1 - a ridiculously grandiose name for a simple Python script
that guides you through the process of creating a new archive or project
- has been released. It's useful for newbies, and people creating a number
of archives (you can just hit ENTER ENTER ENTER for most questions if you
set it up right).

Main changes since 1.1:
- Supports tagging off arbitrary revisions of arbitrary archives. If you
enter an archive name that tla doesn't know about, PyArchitect will ask you
for the archive URL, and then register it.
- Supports year suffixes (e.g. 2004a, 2004b etc.). This is useful if you
archive-cycle more frequently than once a year.
- Now uses "tla inventory" instead of "find" to add initial sources files when
importing - this means PyArchitect will follow the default =tagging-method
exactly. (Custom =tagging-method files aren't supported yet, but this would
be trivial to fix.)

As a consequence of the first two changes above, PyArchitect can now be used
as an easy way to do branching and archive-cycling, as well as creating new
projects.
