Hello,
This is a follow-up of the Pycon summit + sprints on packaging.
This is what we have planned to do:
The rest of the work will happen in distutils2 and we will try to release a version asap for Python 2.x and 3.x (2.4 to 3.2), and the goal is to put it back in the stdlib in Python 3.3
Distutils in Python will be feature-frozen and I will only do bug fixes there. All feature requests will be redirected to Distutils2.
I think the easiest way to manage this for me and for the feedback of the community is to add in bugs.python.org a "Distutils2" component, so I can start to reorganize the issues in there and reassign new issues to Distutils2 when it applies.
Regards Tarek

I assume you want the Distutils2 component to auto-assign to you like Distutils currently does? If so I can add the component for you if people don't object to the new component.

Sounds good -- Thanks

Done.

Just FYI : I am post-poning the revert of Distutils to 2.6.x right after 2.7a4 has been tagged to avoid any problems (this is in 3 days)
The revert is ready but 3 days is not long enough to make sure everything is going smooth.
