When I do "setuptools Pylons" on a freshly installed box, the version 0.9.6rc2 is being installed. I was a little surprised not to get the 0.9.5 release by default. The installation breaks as PasterScript requires an svn version. - Although I can install subversion on the machine to solve it, I don't like it because the machine is set up as a deployment system rather than a development box. - I did not request a dev version of Pylons, so I should not get a dev version of the package or of some dependent packages. Otherwise what is the purpose of having dev versions and stable versions of packages. Will this be solved with 0.9.6? I am reluctant to put a dev version on a deployment box.
This should install the PasteScript from the egg we posted, and not require svn. To manually install: easy_install -U http://pylonshq.com/download/0.9.6rc2/ PasteScript-1.3.6dev-r6751.tar.gz
Alternatively, try running setuptools again, it appears a link didn't update when rc2 was pushed out, which is now fixed. This should alleviate the need to install subversion.
Regarding being able to ask for a dev version, Pylons 0.9.6RC2 is just about ready for final release at this point. I wouldn't consider it a 'development' version. However, setuptools does have a fault where it always goes to the latest version number, regardess of if its a RC, a beta, or even an alpha (we've been fighting with nose installs on this because it tries to grab an alpha which doesn't work right). The setuptools dev's know about this issue and I believe are planning a fix to allow one to indicate they always want releases, and not alpha/beta/dev versions.
The pylonshq.com/download/ page is intended as a way of ensuring that deployment installs get the proper version of the packages, and avoid beta/alphas that are un-tested. The latest Pylons also contains additional setup commands to search there first which should also help this issue.
