[Openstack-devel] Bug#736251: cliff-tablib: [PATCH] Resolve FTBFS from attempt to download distribute

Dear Maintainer,

In Ubuntu 14.04, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Because we already build-depend on setuptools, just remove the use
    of distribute (as upstream did in changeset 2646549), thereby
    resolving FTBFS.


Because the buildds are firewalled, the build fails attempting to
download the deprecated distribute tarball. I chose to backport minimal
bits from the referenced changeset (as opposed to also removing
distribute_setup.py).

Alternately, these changes are already in upstream version 1.1.

Thanks for considering the patch.
