I've posted this question to Stackoverflow[1], but didn't get a response there so I thought I'd ask here.  (This is simply a copy and paste of that question)

For whatever reason, my build system isn't installing one of my packages properly.  When I use yolk (from within a virtualenv), I get the following:

    bin/yolk -l elig
    elig            - 3.1.2.dev    - non-active development (/home/jason/src/interface_dev/elig)

How exactly does a package go from active development to non-active development?
