It depends on your definition of "stable", of course. :) There will be an 0.6c7, fixing a couple of outstanding issues. I will then at some point simply bless an 0.6 final, regardless of whether there are any more bugs found, because having an 0.6c8 is just ridiculous. ;-) 0.6c6 is nonetheless an official *release* of setuptools. We do not have a "stable/unstable" distinction, only a "release/development" distinction. 0.7a1 has not been released, but 0.6c6 has. Releases are uploaded to the CheeseShop, and do not have 'dev-r####' tags in their version. >However, there are others who think 'stable' just means that we've >found, in our own testing, that things generally work as advertised and >that really, our build process is building correctly.

This would mean that we could put a >binary of setuptools 0.7a1 up in our stable repo. Since 0.7a1 does not exist yet (only unreleased 0.7a1dev-r#### versions), you won't be able to do that just yet. :) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
