here's an opposite data point: being forced to use git-dpm by the python-modules-team policy - i haven't had a single joyful experience with git-dpm. so far, every import of a new upstream release turned into a nightmare with an extra working clone of the repository, and skimming through the same man- and webpages full of outdated documentation even though i'm pretty sure that the required information was there the last time i looked. git-dpm might be useful if you use it daily. as it stands, i'm a very happy gbp user (without fancy addons) for almost all of my packages, and the few python modules i maintain don't do releases that often (which explains why i don't get a routine for doing new upstream imports with git-dpm). gfmrds IOhannes
