Yes, but I think this takes more energy and more time to convince Jim, then work in zc.buildout
It really doesn't look like a lot of work, in fact I knocked up a branch that shows just that: http://svn.zope.org/zc.buildout/branches/use_distribute/ The changeset required was actually pretty small: http://zope3.pov.lt/trac/changeset/102544 When a distribute egg gets released, I'll try running these tests and see what happens...
If we take the plone example, every single egg has it (because it's in the zopeskel skeleton)
*sigh* Plone suck strikes again :-(
I'd rather be able to run already released eggs in my buildout today rather than waiting for the crowd to adopt it.
Plus, people wont adopt it if they can't taste it,
I guess that's the way it needs to be, and all for the stubbornness of Phil Eby...
bootstraping.py replaces ez_setup.py Oh Tarek, you really do know how to pick names...
Any chance you could switch this to distribute_setup.py or maybe d_setup.py to avoid dumb people like me constantly confusing the two?
Sure. distribute_setup.py sounds good, I can change. That will be the name, no further change :)
