[matplotlib-devel] Setuptools and release candidate testing

2013-07-24 Thread Michael Droettboom

We could update the makefile so that make clean really cleans up the installation "junk" before installing a new version. I personnally would find it very useful, but the makefile needs a bit of love. Typically "make" would run make clean and make install. I can work on that if people agree that ha
