Hi there. As promised I have gone through the setuptools tracker and tried to identify the easy and ready-to-apply patches. As a result I have applied the patches found in eight tickets [1] to the current distribute code.
If you have another issue that is similarly uncontroversial and like it to be fixed, please report a new issue at http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issues/new. I've readied my Windows box to build the required binary distributions and installers for the 0.6 release. So hopefully there's just a few more documentation updates to make, before we can get this release out. Cheers, Hanno [1] In all its gory details these issues were: * Protected against failures in tarfile extraction. This closes http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/10. * Allow find_on_path on systems with tight permissions to fail gracefully. This closes http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/9. * Corrected inconsistency between documentation and code of add_entry. This closes http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/8. * Made api_tests.txt doctest compatible with Jython. This closes http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/7. * sandbox.py replaced builtin type file with builtin function open. This closes http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/6. * Immediately close all file handles. This closes http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/3. * Backported old distutils behaviour for add_defaults, to avoid a recursive loop when setuptools builds the file list. This closes http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/2. * Added compatibility with Subversion 1.6. This references http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/1. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
