Subversion doesn't chain externals, so there isn't a good solution for what you're trying to do. You should probably just use ez_setup.py instead of ez_setup/__init__.py. The main advantage to using svn:externals is that it gets you (and anyone who checks out your project) an updated ez_setup/__init__.py just by running svn update. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
