Upgrading setuptools trial in that way leads to a very tricky problem in setuptools's handling of recursive installation of the build-time dependencies of build-time dependencies...
rolling back:
Tue Feb 3 22:17:18 MST 2009 zooko@zooko.com
* setup: bundle new setuptools_trial-0.5.1
A ./misc/dependencies/setuptools_trial-0.5.1.tar
Tue Feb 3 22:17:32 MST 2009 zooko@zooko.com
* setup: remove old bundled setuptools_trial
R ./misc/dependencies/setuptools_trial-0.5.tar
Hopefully this one fixes the issue with easy_install not searching the sys.path for packages that were requested to be installed, (setuptools #17), thus allowing us to do away with the "--site-dirs=" kludges, which are currently breaking some of our buildbots.
Once we implement #249 (move bundled dependencies out of revision control history and make them optional) then we can stop doing this. Until then we try not to do it unless we really need to...
The 0.9.18 version of Nevow doesn't declare its dependency on Twisted in a machine-readable way ( http://divmod.org/trac/ticket/2629 ). Neither does the current release of Nevow (0.9.31), but hopefully a future release of Nevow in the near future will fix this.
Also, we're going to be managing external dependencies like this in a separate darcs repository in the future instead of checking them into our Tahoe source tree.
pycryptopp-0.3.0 incorrectly crypts AES (depending on compiler and version of Crypto++ used)
Very soon now we're going to set up an "ext" repository to hold all tarballs and no longer check them into our trunk source tree.
Now we use "./setup.py develop" to ensure that changes to our source code are immediately used without requiring a "make" step. This simplification will hopefully pave the way for easier py2exe and py2app, solving the "Unit tests test the installed version" bug (#145), and perhaps also #164 and #176.
This patch also conditionalizes the use of setuptools_darcs on the absence of a PKG-INFO file, which is part of fixing #263.
