My sincere apologies. I was under the impression that it was not being maintained. It'd be great if you could point me towards the main setuptools trunk.
There's a link on the PyPI project page, as well as a link to the 0.6 stable branch. There's also a pointer to the bug tracker there. See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
However, I have not worded this out on any other forum, so that should'nt be a problem. :)
Thanks. Not only is it not true that it's not maintained, but it's actually actively developed (albeit at a glacial pace). The most recent commits to the trunk this year are in relation to new features in progress for 0.7; I just don't make releases that often, and in fact I'm hesitating a bit about releasing 0.6final and 0.7a1 because that's when I expect certain parties will start cranking up the hate machine and FUDslinging again. :-(

When this will stop, it's pathetic... We had very good reasons to fork, so you are the one FUDing right here. Can't you join the the current community effort in packaging instead of working on your side and send messages like this ? We could use your skills in distutils2, instead of having to deal with all of this. And even in setuptools, we could use your skills to add the compatibility layers for the new PEPs. It will happen in Distribute in any case.
