In the months that I've been subscribed to this list, I haven't really seen any *other* discussion that seems geared towards improving distribution of Python modules and add-ons. Ditto. Setuptools is the most active distutils-related development right now, no surprise there's lots of messages on it. The volume is a *good* thing ;)
I guess the concern is that the dominance of setuptools message is scaring away people with old-fashioned distutils questions. There haven't been many of those lately, and some of them seem to have received no response. I don't think that splitting the list in two is a solution, though. There's not enough traffic to warrant that (except for a brief spurt a week or so ago...)
Point taken. I would like to get the development and integration of important distribution formats going again. For me, bdist_deb, bdist_msi, bdist_nsis, bdist_inno as well as some other formats used by HP-UX and Solaris are more important than inventing yet another package manager. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Dec 13 2005)
