Hi Lennart,
If i read 'virtualenv-distribute 1.3.4.2 on pypi' I can do some googling or even do some Pypi searching for 'virtualenv-distribute'.
Thus, the first link found may be [1].
On this link, the second sentence is:
""" The fork was started by Philip Jenvey at http://bitbucket.org/pjenvey/virtualenv-distribute/ and this version by Florian Schulze lives at http://bitbucket.org/fschulze/virtualenv-distribute/
Add http://bitbucket.org/kiorky/virtualenv-distribute/ to the list and this, ladies and gentlemen, is why distributed source control sucks.
I think one (pjenvey) was an experiment, and another is actually a released virtualenv-distribute package (updating the name in setup.py, etc). And the third, I dunno. Anyway -- I'm reluctant to switch virtualenv to distribute right now, as I'm not confident it is ready for people to use distribute without even realizing it. Because if someone just upgrades virtualenv and starts using it, they'll get whatever virtualenv is distributed with. I'd be happy to include a --distribute option if someone wants to repackage one of these forks to include both setuptools and distribute support. -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org | http://topplabs.org/civichacker
