The main issue: noone wants to even touch python.eclass or anything nearby. The second issue: python-distutils-ng isn't good enough. It has too many things hard-wired. I think I have already pointed enough problems with it. Not that many people cared to respond. It's sad that people don't care to respond when you point the issues out but then complain when you do something to fix them. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
