I plan to add explicit buildout support for distribute. Here's a sketch. Basically it boils down to satisfying requirements for setuptools with distribute whenever distribute is in buildout's working set. So, when installing a package that requires setuptools, it will convert that requirement to a requirement for distribute. There will be 2 separate bootstrap scripts, one that uses distribute and one that uses setuptools. There will also be a buildout configuration option that will allow a buildout configuration author to fix which is used. Probably:
use-distribute = true This will only serve as a check that the right bootstrap was used. Comments? Jim -- Jim Fulton _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
