Add "caveats" to pex info
Similar to homebrew it would be nice to have some "caveats" info regarding the installation of an extension.
For example I was unable to install postgis
as my brew package gettext
wasn't linked (it's keg-only). This would be a great addition to a caveats section.
I'm imagining an output like this when running pex info postgis
:
name: postgis homepage: http://postgis.net/ url: http://download.osgeo.org/postgis/source/postgis-2.2.2.tar.gz status: installed caveats: - If you're getting an error similar to
fatal error: 'libintl.h' file not found
you may have to installgettext
with homebrew and link it withbrew link gettext
.
I had thought about that, but pex isn't specific to OS X, so the caveats would not need to be tailored to the platform somehow. So it will need a bit more work.
