I was able to build rpms for Traits, Envisage, and related packages (e.g., TraitsGUI) for Fedora 7. However, when I tried to package Enable I ran into the following problem: The tar.gz gets built as Enable-3.0.0.dev-r21092.tar.gz, but when the rpm packager gets called it looks for Enable-3.0.0.tar.gz, doesn't find it, and errors out. I've copied a relevant part of the output below.

I'm not sure what's happening here since the setup.cfg's for the ETS

[Oops. Re-sent to fix the subject line] Dave - I wasn't using the release alias. From what you say, I suppose I should. I think the Enable project might be somewhat different from the others because it uses both distutils and setuptools. I will send you off line a program I used that fixes up the setup.cfg. Stan Klein On Mon, August 11, 2008 2:16 pm, enthought-dev-request@mail.enthought.com projects should all be pretty close to the same on this issue. Are you doing a "setup.py release bdist_rpm"? i.e. using the release alias? If not, that's the source of the problem.

BTW: Are you checking in your changes to setup.cfg's? If you don't have

privileges, I can make these changes so just send me a patch, set of modified setup.cfgs, or instructions on what to do to reproduce your changes.
