I haven't seen anybody mention it yet, but checkouts of development versions are a use case that can't currently be addressed without support for multiple external links. For example, setuptools itself offers SVN checkout URLs for two different branches. I've also seen in-development packages offered via github or bitbucket checkouts as well. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
