infrastructure like Cpan, Gem or Apt. The actual situation is insane:
- Setuptools is not on Python core
I agree this is a shame. The boundary between setuptools and distutils is fuzzy.
But if we build together a good tool, I guess it will be included at some point
as a distutils replacement.
- single point failure infrastructure (pypi.p.o)
notice that there's a patch at this point that let setuptools use several indexes,
it will be discussed for inclusion in Distribute 0.3
- not compatible with Hg / Bzr / Git out of the box
Notice that you can write a Manifest.in file to avoid it at this point
- missing some features
As far I see, the goal is to speed up the development of a great tool,
not just a fork for fun :).
exactly !
PS: within 1 month, Ubuntu 8.10 & Debian 4.2 are out (default svn :
1.5). It's not acceptable to say "use trunk version, stupid!"
