Hello, guys, I have fixed distutils (and setuptools remains working) with the attached patch. Now, RPMs will be built according to the Fedora Package Naming Guidelines:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Non- Numeric_Version_in_Release which I understand to be the most useful reference in terms of naming pre- release packages. This should work correctly in at least: - Fedora - RHEL - SUSE I urge you patch your python 2.4s and 2.5s and 2.6s and push this update to distributions. I have done that myself at my own repository. Now we can enjoy one more reason to build RPMs (and eggs! ... according to my workbench at http://yum.rudd-o.com/SCRIPTS/ -- feel free to pick its brains) DIRECTLY from the cheese shop, especially if you're using pip. Oh, I also have pip at my repo (cd ../RPMS/noarch in my workbench). See attached patch. I will log bugs where it corresponds too. -- Manuel Amador (Rudd-O) <rud...@rudd-o.com> Rudd-O.com - http://rudd-o.com/ GPG key ID 0xC8D28B92 at http://wwwkeys.pgp.net/ Now playing, courtesy of Amarok: Aqua - Cartoon heroes Windows 95 is not a virus.
