#227 [libervia] Setup.py: provide an uninstall and upgrade command

[libervia] Setup.py: provide an uninstall and upgrade command

After [ulling some changesets from the repository, running:

python setup.py uninstall or upgrade command give an 'invalid command' error message.

On the other hand, running the 'install' command returns:

Built to : /private/tmp/libervia/html
symbolically linking /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libervia/libervia.sh -> /usr/local/bin/libervia
error: [Errno 17] File exists

The sole way to fix that is to first remove the files and then run the 'install' command again.

That would be quite cool to have a way to upgrade easily our libervia installations.

Thank you

From here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19133831/python-how-to-force-overwriting-of-files-when-using-setup-py-install-distutil You could try to force the install: python setup.py install --force From the comments: Note, the --force overwrites, and does not remove files. Of course, a distribution package would be better in the future. A PKGBUILD for Archlinux is almost finished. See: https://gitlab.com/jnanar/libervia_pkgbuild
