plone.versioncheck 1.0

Features

Command line script to check a buildouts [versions] section while stepping through the cascaded extends. The script collects the inherited version pins, remembers where a version pin comes from. It displays then sorted result in order to enable a human to check pins and overrides are ok.

Optional Python Package Index (PyPI) may be checked for newer versions. It works only with sematically korrekt version numbers. If a newer major, minor or bugfix (or a prerelease) is available it will get printed.

Output is colored, this helps to identify packages which have newer versions available.

Usage

usage: versioncheck [-h] [-b BUILDOUT] [-o] [-p] [--debug-limit DEBUG_LIMIT]

Print info about pinned versions and its overrides

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b BUILDOUT, --buildout BUILDOUT
                        path to buildout.cfg or other cfg file
  -o, --overrides       display only packages with overrides
  -p, --pypi            check pypi for newer versions
  --debug-limit DEBUG_LIMIT
                        Limit the number of pypi versions fetched for
                        debugging
