No, I mean *really* stupid. So stupid that I nearly fell out of my chair with embarassment when I saw Thomas Heller's report of it, because I released Distutils 0.9.3 *before* reading my mail. D'oh! Anyways, this is such a colossally stupid bug that I'm *glad* 2.0b2 hasn't gone out yet: it gives me a chance to checkin the (3-line) fix. Here's what I plan to do: * tag distutils-0_9_3 (ie. last bit of bureaucracy for the broken, about-to-be-superseded release) * checkin my fix * release Distutils 0.9.4 (with this 3-line fix and *nothing* more) * tag distutils-0_9_4 * calmly sit back and wait for Jeremy and Tim to flay me alive Egg-on-face, paper-bag-on-head, etc. etc...

!@$!#! I didn't see anything on python.org or pythonlabs.com, so I assumed it wasn't done yet. Oh well, Distutils 0.9.4 will go out shortly anyways. I'll just go off in a corner and castigate myself mercilessly. Arghgh! Greg -- Greg Ward gward@python.net http://starship.python.net/~gward/
