Hi Till, sorry: somehow I totally misunderstood what you wrote me earlier + I didn't occur to me that also subpackages might cause the main package to be removed. Anyhow I can just hope you accept apologies.
Now it seems as if I have to do something to save a part of EPEL5's Python stack from removal. As a first step I disabled the babel-python26 package in git. (The changelog entry is not entirely correct, as I saw now only python26-distribute goes away, not python26 itself.) Theoretically babel could also work without setuptools/distribute but that will cause reduced functionality (and not egg metadata) which is currently provided. Personally I'd rather keep installed babel-python26 installs as-is (= just remove the subpackage) than dropping setuptools support and regressing in functionality. Please let me know if there are any objections. What's next? Do I have to trigger a build or even push an update?
