(default is "unstable") (`#1934`_; Chabert Loïc) - python: Fix errors in how fpm invoked

- python: Use pip by default for fetching Python packages. This matches the Python 3 "installation" docs which recommend calling pip as
python -m pip
wherepython
depends on--python-bin
(default "python"). Previous default was to use easy_install which is no longer available on many newer systems. To use easy_install, you can set--no-python-internal-pip

- rpm: dashes are now replaced with underscores in rpm version strings (`#395`_, `#393`_, `#399`_; patches by Jeff Terrace and Richard Guest)

- rpm: fix default 'rpm os' value (`#321`_, 314, 309)

- solaris: package building works again (`#216`_, `#299`_, patch by Pierre-Yves Ritschard)
- The --directories flag is now recursive when the output package is rpm. This makes all directories under a given path as owned by the package so they'll be removed when the package is uninstalled (`#245`_, `#293`_, `#294`_, patch by Justin Ellison)
- Add fpm version info to '--help' output (`#281`_)

- Fix regression in rpm building where the epoch in was missing in the rpm, but prior fpm versions defaulted it to 1. This caused rpms built with newer fpms to appear "older" than older rpms. Tests added to ensure this regression is caught prior to future releases! (Reported by eliklein)

- deb: add --deb-priority flag (`#232`_) for setting the debian 'priority' value for your package.

- Fix some symlink handling to prevent links from being followed during cleanup (`#228`_, patch by sbuss)

- internal: remove empty directories marked by --exclude (`#205`_, patch by jimbrowne)
- dir: don't try to set utime on symlinks (`#234`_, `#240`_, patch by ctgswallow)

- Dependencies using '!=' will now map to 'Conflicts' in deb packages. (`#221`_, patch by Sven Fischer)

- Set default temporary directory to /tmp (#174)
- Improve symlink handling (patch by Aleix Conchillo Flaqué, pull/177))

- New flag: --python-install-bin. Sets the location for python package scripts (default: /usr/bin)
- New flag: --python-install-lib. Sets the location for the python package to install libs to, default varies by system. Usually something like /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages.
- Fix up --prefix support
- Improve staged package installation
- Fix fpm so it works in ruby 1.8 again. Tests run, and passing: rvm 1.8.7,1.9.2,1.9.3 do bundle exec rspec
Complete rewrite of pretty much everything.
- Otherwise, the 'fpm' command functionality should be the same
- Please let me know if something broke!
Now has an API (see examples/api directory)
Also has a proper test suite
Updated the rpm spec generator to disable all the ways I've found rpmbuild to be weird about packages. This means that fpm-generated rpms will no longer strip libraries, move files around, randomly mutate jar files, etc.
Add --license and --vendor settings (via Pieter Loubser)
python support: try to name python packages sanely. Some pypi packages are literally called 'python-foo' so make sure we generate packages named 'python-foo' and not 'python-python-foo' (via Thomas Meson)
rpm support: Add --rpm-rpmbuild-define for passing a --define flag to rpmbuild (via Naresh V)
PHP pear source support (fpm -s pear ...) (via Andrew Gaffney)
- Allow taking a list of files/inputs on stdin with '-' or with the --inputs flag. (Matt Patterson)
- (python) pass -U to easy_install (Khalid Goudeaux)
- (debian) quote paths in md5sum calls (Matt Patterson)
- (debian) quiet stderr from dpkg --print-architecture
- Fix bug in 'dir' source that breaks full paths
- Added a bunch of tests (yaay)
Add 'tar' source support. Useful for binary releases to repackage as rpms and debs. Example:
fpm -s tar -t rpm -n firefox -v 4.0.1 --prefix /opt/firefox/4.0.1 firefox-4.0.1.tar.bz2
- Use --replaces as "Obsoletes" in rpms.
If present, DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME environment variables will be used as the default maintainer. Previously the default was simply <$user@$hostname> #37
Add '--replaces' flag for specifying packages replaced by the one you are building. This only functions in .deb packages now until I find a suitable synonym in RPM.
Add --python-bin and --python-easyinstall flags. This lets you choose specific python and easy_install tools to use when building. Default is simply 'python' and 'easy_install' respectively.
Add support for ~/.fpmrc - The format of this file is the same as the flags. One flag per line. #38. Example:
--python-bin=/usr/bin/python2.7 --python-easyinstall=/usr/bin/easy_install2.7
No changelist tracked. My bad, yo.
