We can add it back, While working up a patch for this, Thanks! I realize that I'll also need to add back --download-base to pass to ez_setup.use_setuptools. Yup. Feel free to propose something simpler. Is the best way to do this to open an issue on https://github.com/buildout/buildout, and create a fork with my proposed changes? Yes. I'm not sure of the normal buildout workflow. It's pretty standard open source workflow based on pull requests. For a non-trivial change, you'd need to sign a Zope contributor agreement, but I'd be happy to consider this trivial. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton http://www.linkedin.com/in/jimfulton ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
Re: [Distutils] buildout bootstrap question
I realize that I'll also need to add back --download-base to pass to ez_setup.use_setuptools. Yup. Feel free to propose something simpler. I opened issue #165. For a non-trivial change, you'd need to sign a Zope contributor agreement, but I'd be happy to consider this trivial. :) Either way. I'm happy to sign a contributor agreement.
