[Distutils] Distribute 0.6.9 released

[Tarek Ziadé]

Hi,

On behalf of the Distribute team, I am happy to release Distribute 0.6.9.

Important changes:

* Distribute now works fine under some versions of MacPort Python that
have a bug with the  platform.mac_ver() API
  (see http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22278)
* Fixed easy_install (the command) behavior w.r.t. a local setup.cfg
* Now Sandbox can allow writing in some specific files (by default  :
os.devnull)

Detailed Changes:

* Issue 90: unknown setuptools version can be added in the working set
* Issue 87: setupt.py doesn't try to convert distribute_setup.py anymore
  Initial Patch by arfrever.
* Issue 89: added a side bar with a download link to the doc.
* Issue 86: fixed missing sentence in pkg_resources doc.
* Added a nicer error message when a DistributionNotFound is raised.
* Issue 80: test_develop now works with Python 3.1
* Issue 93: upload_docs now works if there is an empty sub-directory.
* Issue 70: exec bit on non-exec files
* Issue 99: now the standalone easy_install command doesn't uses a
  "setup.cfg" if any exists in the working directory. It will use it
  only if triggered by ``install_requires`` from a setup.py call
  (install, develop, etc).
* Issue 101: Allowing ``os.devnull`` in Sandbox
* Issue 92: Fixed the "no eggs" found error with MacPort
  (platform.mac_ver() fails)
* Issue 103: test_get_script_header_jython_workaround not run
  anymore under py3 with C or POSIX local. Contributed by Arfrever.
* Issue 104: remvoved the assertion when the installation fails,
  with a nicer message for the end user.
* Issue 100: making sure there's no SandboxViolation when
  the setup script patches setuptools.


Regards,
Tarek
