It seems that --no-svn-revision is only part of the solution to making releases less of a hassle. The problem is that setup.cfg is still included in sdist, so any user that builds your egg from source is going to have it tagged with ".dev_r0". This is especially problematic for dependencies because it may download the correct version of source, but ".dev_r0" ranks lower so it will say the dependency is not satisfied. What's the best solution to this, barring deleting setup.cfg from the release branch? -bob _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
