This was brought up a while back by someone working with experimental svn 1.6: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2008-February/008794.html But I'm not sure it was addressed, and now we're getting the same problem here with svn 1.5.1.
This same fix fixes it: --- sdist.py.vanilla 2008-08-18 20:54:07.000000000 -0700 +++ sdist.py 2008-08-18 20:12:11.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ from distutils.command.sdist import sdist as _sdist from distutils.util import convert_path +from distutils import log import os, re, sys, pkg_resources
entities = [
But I'm not sure it's the best one. It's definitely good that this fix should address the problem once and for all (i.e. no re-break on future svn versions), but maybe there is a better larger fix. I think it should be addressed somehow though since svn 1.5.1 is now the latest release. Thanks, --dan

I would like to know why 0.7 (or 0.6c9) is not out. This solution is not clean, and doesn't work with Buildout. Are there any unrelsolved bugs ?

It should work with:
[buildout] .. versions = versions
[versions] setuptools = dev
*But* it doesn't because of a bug I mentioned a few months ago:
In setuptools's package_index module, the _download_url determines a filename using the last part of the URL:
'http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools/#egg=setuptools-dev '
becomes
'setuptools'
and it goes to your download folder at:
'..downloads/dist/setuptools'
But this is also the name used by zc.buildout to decompress the package :)
leading to an error, in the next attempt do get setuptools:
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '.../downloads/dist/setuptools'
In any case, this setuptools behaviour is bad, because if your url is:
'http://svn.example.org/your/package/trunk'
It will end up in a "trunk" folder. And if you have two packages that points to an url finishing with "trunk" it will fail.
So, setuptools should use a random, unique, temporary name in this function imho to make buildout happy with any kind of dev package.
Are there any unrelsolved bugs ?
setuptools has its own tracker here : http://bugs.python.org/setuptools
