[Openstack-devel] Bug#735816: python setup.py clean is downloading distribute

[Thomas Goirand]

Hi,

I'm the Debian package maintainer of python-mockito. The following bug
was reported against my package:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=735816

Therefore, I had to neutralize distribute_setup.py (patch it so that it
wouldn't download the distribute tarball).

It would be very nice if what you've done could be avoided while
building the Debian package (there's no need to do that,
python-setuptools is installed by the build-dependencies). Please let me
know if something can be done upstream to address this issue.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
