[Python-modules-team] Bug#573527: python-paver: dry run is quite wet actually

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: python-paver
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: normal


decided to smell paver a bit... from documentation:

$> paver --help | grep dry
  -n, --dry-run         don't actually do anything

so decided it would be safe to do:

$> lst

drwx------ 12 yoh yoh  4096 2010-03-11 23:20 doc/
-rw-------  1 yoh yoh  6436 2010-03-11 23:19 setup.pyc

$> paver -n write_log
---> pavement.write_log

$> lst

so -- Changelog was generated, despite '-n' -- I guess it did something despite
its promise to do nothing ;)
