I do not call every software that does not release sources on pypi crappy. I also don't call numpy crappy. Now, please tell me what you would do if sourceforge changes its url and returns a 404 on the old download page. Would you update all release informations? If not, the next time I run a buildout where the configuration requires numpy in an old version and the download link is broken, my buildout breaks too. And there might be reasons why I stick to a specific older version. Thats what I would like to avoid. Best regards, Patrick
