This is absolutely true, and annoying. Setuptools read the .svn files directly, as I understand it. Those file formats change often, and therefore that way of solving it is inherently unstable. But if this isn't fixable, that just means that there shouldn't be an svn plugin, at least not in the stdlib, as that requires "dead stable" API's. This is however not an argument against asking the VCS for a list of files. It's just an argument against doing it by parsing subversions internal files. -- Lennart Regebro: Pythonista, Barista, Notsotrista. http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
