Re: [Distutils] [issue89] easy_install silently drop symlinks when auto-extracting tarball source distributions

(Personally, I like them just fine where they are. Among other things it makes it easy for someone to answer the ticket via email, which is one of the reasons I asked for it to be set up this way in the first place.)
I don't remember you asking in Distutils-SIG to the people if they were OK with that.
Can we please avoid this flaring up into another Tarek vs PJE fight?
FWIW, I'm mildly annoyed by setuptools tracker emails appearing here, but I live with it. I suggest others do the same.

No problem.

I don't want to get into a fight (but I am getting used at receiving personal attacks and try not flame things) , but these notifications, among other things, makes it unclear that the Setuptools project is a distinct project from Distutils. For example, I am sometimes receiving mails from people complaining that easy_install doesn't work right and that Distutils should be fixed. It's great that Distutils-SIG host several projects, especially since many people want to have a unified project for the packaging topic. But these notifications have to be straightened up, and I don't see any rationale yet why they should stay in this list. Tarek

FWIW I'd be +1 on moving the setuptool tracker emails elsewhere. I just always assumed there was some secret cabal agreement on them being here, but apparently not. ;-) OTOH I'm pretty used to ignoring threads that don't interest me. :-) Regards Floris
