I guess we could land this anytime in rawhide, no? > Yep. I've built a few packages in a copr just to see. So far building seems to be pretty good. The only problem I've encountered so far is python-zc-buildout which is hardcoding a dependency on distribute instead of setuptools ( I think that the merger brought in the features/bugfixes of distribute that buildout needs but I have to take a look at upstream mailing lists/etc to confirm and then coordinate with the python-zc-buildout maintainer to deploy the change)

So far, I've been testing a setuptools-0.7 package on my local F17 install and things are just working but there have been changes and setuptools has a runtime component used by some packages (numbers from repoquery are in the Feature page) so it is indeed possible for runtime to be affected. One encouraging note is that we've been running the distribute fork of setuptools in Fedora for years. Reading the upstream changelog, the merge between setuptools and distribute caused a lot more changes to setuptools than to distribute so it may be that we won't run into any problems here. -Toshio
