setuptools is currently a build-time dep only, this is what you get when it's not installed though: angelos@odin gitosis-admin-local % git push Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gitosis-serve", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2562, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 626, in require File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 524, in resolve pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: setuptools>=0.6c5 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Fixed in CVS.
