[Distutils] Enthought-dev Digest, Vol 48, Issue 49

[Stanley A. Klein]

Dave -

I wasn't using the release alias.  From what you say, I suppose I should.

I think the Enable project might be somewhat different from the others
because it uses both distutils and setuptools.

I will send you off line a program I used that fixes up the setup.cfg.
