1.0 if you want trunk your probably a developer or found a really bad bug.

mainly setuptools since that is our recommended installation method. As for the packages they are supposed to be 100% binary so there *shouldn't* be a need to have gcc to run the packages. my problem with distro specific packages in this matter is that at least on gentoo, they are not always integrated with setuptools (they are just run as plain distutils modules) which messes with setuptools package discovery tool that could eventually install 2 versions of the same package damaging both setuptools and the package manager.
Also, which TG app is the target?
none in particular want to use CogBin as a test?
Or is just launching a quickstart project and tg-admin enough?
that could be too, since if installed with setuptools will bring in all deps.
To get TG to quickstart and tg-admin I just followed the directions http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/InstallUbuntu and instead of using the command line, I used the synaptix installer.
yes I agree but why we need to force gcc on a enduser? one of the points egg try to solve is having an easy way to distribute binary python packages specially for the the ones that have C code which are the packages causing this situation.
But then I had a pretty complete python install already since I'm a corporate developer who uses python most of the time.
I've got another laptop with a stock 6.10 install sitting behind me -- I can use that to test once I know the above.
the utimate goal wil be to reduce http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/InstallUbuntu to something like $ easy_install TurboGears We already know of one offending package and that is RuleDispatch this is because there is no cheeseshop page for it.
