setup.py upgrade hangs during gzip step in install.sh

Open dnwe opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

a setup.py-based upgrade install hangs during the install.sh of the manpages as it is trying to prompt the user whether or not to overwrite the existing .gz file during the gzip step.

gzip: /home/username/.local/share/man/man1/dr14_tmeter.1.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)?

The --f, --force flag should be added to the gzip step to prevent this

Actually, as the manpages are being installed via a standalone script, I'm guessing they probably won't currently get cleaned-up during a removal? It would probably make more sense to move to using setuptools to manage the install of manpages rather than doing it manually from a script.
