Thanks. I guess I was wrong in thinking that one could add a revision number to the url fragment and have easy_install get that revision. Instead, I should explicitly specify the urls in the package index (and/or setup.py) and identify them with the fragment. So, to make a head version and a tag available, the following urls must be in the package index: svn://svn/my/repo/package/trunk#egg=package-dev svn://svn/my/repo/package/tags/r1.0#egg=package-1.0 and install them thus... easy_install -i http://may/index package==dev | package==1.0 cheers, Rob Cowie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
