I used the word "build tool" in the packaging summit, that was the wrong word. My point is that is currently a tool to *install* distributions as opposed to *create* distributions. I think it's best if it is kept that way. I'd rather see the wheel command go into another tool used to build distributions (and perhaps upload them to the cheeseshop). [ I overheard the proposal to call such a tool "pup". ;-) ] //Lennart _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
