I wasted some time today trying to update Matthias's spec files so I
could try 0.5.2 of elisa.

After a bunch of debugging trying to figure out what was wrong, I
figured out with Alessandro's help that I did not have
site-packages/elisa/plugins/ installed.

This is supposed to be installed by the core tarball, and should drop an
__init__.py in that directory.

(Let me know if this is right or wrong please).

This directory and __init__.py are *not* in the 0.5.2 tarball.

So I was wondering how this worked on any other distro.

It turns out people think that nobody actually successfully packaged
0.5.2 for any linux distro.

I stopped working on the tarballs at that point.

So, questions:
- does this mean the 0.5.2 tarballs are just as broken on Linux as the
0.5.1 ones ?
- why isn't "build packages for at least one distro" a step in the
release process ?
