Missing import support for pip requirements

[Ülgen Sarıkavak]

In a requirements.txt file, -r other_deps.txtis a valid syntax for importing requirements from another file. I am using this feature for managing my project dependencies for different environments.

Those prod, stage and dev files are importing common dependencies from common.txt file.

On VersionEye, -r other_deps.txtis not a valid syntax. The tool can't resolve -r parameter.

Thanks for reporting this. But it's not a bug, it's a feature request ;) The pip parser currently can only handle 1 file. So it works like designed. Supporting file imports would be a new feature on VersionEye.

@ulgens Can you please post your common.txt file here? Or is it somewhere on Bitbucket/GitHub?

[Robert Reiz]

@ulgens OK. I just fixed it. Lines which are starting with -r are ignored now. But you can flip the switch for multiple *.txt files and if they are in the same repository and same branch they will be merged automatically into 1 logical project at VersionEye.

@ulgens Here I described the new behaviour: https://blog.versioneye.com/2016/06/29/auto-merge-for-git-projects/.

Oh, sorry for delay. Thanks for the blog post btw, it's excited to see a new feature as a result of a bug report :) I'll try the new behaviour.
