Actually, what I meant to say was, if your users aren't using EasyInstall to fetch the latest version, but instead are working directly from a subversion checkout, they need to run "setup.py develop" after updates in order to update their egg-info, dependencies, etc. So, I'm changing this sentence to: "Be sure to also remind any of your users who check out your project from Subversion that they need to run ``setup.py develop`` after every update in order to keep their checkout completely in sync." Thanks for pointing out the ambiguity! _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
