I'll try to limit my bikesheading to this one message. Given that this is -- I'm assuming -- an "unauthorized" fork, I wouldn't use "setuptools2" as the name. We don't want to confuse people, and "setuptools2" is confusingly similar to "setuptools" (to borrow a phrase from trademark law). The new project is based on setuptools but it is not a product of the setuptools "project" so should have a distinct name. -- Benji York Senior Software Engineer Zope Corporation _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
