So now everything is working on hardy except for the fact that stdeb

that could go out to the repositories and be available by default to
everyone. There does not seem to be any impact that I can see in making
this change and since so many people create their own install classes
this would actually prevent conflicts.
I figured out what the reason for --single-version-externally-managed is
-- it is required for namespace packages to function properly. Thus, I
can't remove it, as doing so would be a regression.
However, if you create a patch I can apply against the old-stable branch
that makes this optional, (e.g. set in a similar way as the
--ignore-install-requires option), I can add that and make release
0.3.1.
Ok, I'll look at getting you a patch that removes the option.
Patch to utils.py in old-stable branch attached.
Note also that I'm very close to releasing 0.4, as the 0.3 line
has major problems with Jaunty and later.
Are you planning to submit a patch for the bdist_deb command? I could
include that, too.
Yes, I have something ready but I think the 'bdist_deb' command
belongs as a distutils patch. I created the command by subclassing the
distutils Command class. Maybe Tarek could comment on what might be
best here.
Here is my working 'bdist_deb' code verbatim from inside my setup.py:
(it could be more pythonic of course with less os.system commands but
it's working real well this way at least)
