Nothing proper release notes and the likes cannot fix. Heck, you could provide a symlink from easy_install to the new pyegg --or whatever the name might be-- for a few releases and if it is easy_install that's being invoked, you act accordingly. Or even a placeholder script invoking the necessary things. Also, your claim of 'lots of people worldwide' is taken out of thin air. I doubt you have evidence in favour or against. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ | GPG: 2EAC625B Nothing is constant but change... _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
