It looks like there is a problem with setuptools and subversion-1.5. It has
been reported on the distutils mailing list
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2008-February/008820.html),
which includes a patch that seems to work but has not been thoroughly tested.


Reproducible: Always

"Gentoo Bugzilla" is not the correct link to file reports regarding ebuilds, as
hinted in red letters..

My mistake, I meant to select Gentoo Linux.

Why was this changed to severity normal? Setuptools can't install a package
checked out with svn-1.5. Seems like a major defect to me.

Not only that we do not speak about a stable keyworded ebuild, there isn't even
a stable upstream 1.5 release of Subversion. Living on the bleeding edge is
o.k., but doesn't justify any escalation from the bug handling POV.

The patch is included in setuptools-0.6_rc8-r1.
Thanks for reporting :)
