I stumbled on the "Googling for setuptools plus Mercurial leads to
an outdated plugin" problem the other day. I e-mailed the author
and asked him to update the page with a link to setuptools_hg, but
haven't gotten response yet. Alternatively, people could give a nod
to setuptools_hg with a link in their blog, etc. and eventually
this should skew the Google ranking :P
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_hg
Please add the "Framework :: Setuptools Plugin" classifier to your
metadata so that setuptools_hg will appear on this search:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&c=524
There follows a patch that I submitted to recommend this in the
setuptools docs. I thought that PJE had already accepted this patch,
but it isn't there. PJE: please accept the following patch.
Regards,
Zooko
