Hi, It seems that SVN 1.4 doesn't use XML anymore to store metadata in .svn/entries (at least). So setuptools fails to find the repository url for instance: File "/home/test/Elisa/elisa-env/lib/python2.4/setuptools-0.6c2-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 85, in finalize_options self.vtags = self.tags() File "/home/test/Elisa/elisa-env/lib/python2.4/setuptools-0.6c2-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 179, in tags ): version += '-r%s' % self.get_svn_revision() File "/home/test/Elisa/elisa-env/lib/python2.4/setuptools-0.6c2-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 196, in get_svn_revision dirurl = urlre.search(data).group(1) # get repository URL AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group' I was thinking setuptools was directly using the "svn" command to find revisions and other related informations. But i was wrong ;) Philippe
