We're currently pinned - http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-December/052985.html - we tried a fix, it broke things more, so we rolled it back and are now working on a new one - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/141667/ - which will simply *stop including version data* in our version strings. As setuptools 7 and 8 are mutually incompatible, we can either support this feature in 8 and break setuptools 7 use, or we can support it in 7, and break installs on 8.
I haven't tracked *all* the details of this (I'm currently away from home dealing with more estate cleanup :( ) - see the #openstack-infra channel logs over the last 48hr or so for more details. -Rob On 16 December 2014 at 07:50, Donald Stufft <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Dec 15, 2014, at 1:41 PM, Robert Collins <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >> +1 - I think thats a great idea.
