What's the current best way to use both distribute and buildout? Apart from the bootstrap + apparently needed change in buildout, I've got the following questions:
- Do my libraries have to list a dependency on distribute or on setuptools? Everything zopish has a 'setuptools >= 0.6c9' in it. I tried putting distribute in there, but I seemed to get less problems with leaving it at setuptools. - Should just globally installing distribute be enough? Everything ought to keep working. It does lead to a bunch of runtime warnings in buildout, however. (But Tarek has targeted that problem for the upcoming 0.6.4 :-) - Do I need to change buildout's bootstrap already? Doing that tries to change my global setuptools, for which you need to sudo. And it also forces everyone else using that buildout to switch (which in itself is OK). - From my experiments (not exhaustive! no real debugging!) it seems that the only safe way is to first install distribute globally before touching a buildout that brings in distribute. Is this to be expected? Reinout -- Reinout van Rees - [email protected] - http://reinout.vanrees.org Software developer at http://www.thehealthagency.com "Military engineers build missiles.
