Scripts used to build Pants-related things. Scripts, config, and other infrastructure necessary for Pants to function.

Python packages distributed to PyPI with pants are defined in two parts: Metadata in src/python/pants/releases/packages.py and a function accessible from release.sh with name pkg_<name>_install_test where <name> is the text after the last . in the pacakge name.

The arguments to the pkg_<name>_install_test function are the version string to test, follow be zero or more pip args (for use if pip is going to be used to test the package). All contrib tests are run as part of CI, so the pkg_<name>_install_test function should generally only sanity check that a module is properly importable as a plugin.
