Plugin build failure

[sam@…]

For a reason I can't find, some plugins fail to build, for exemple the WebAdmin plugin and the SpamFilter plugin, both with the following error message :

running bdist_egg
Traceback (most recent call last):

zsh: exit 1     python ./setup.py bdist_egg

The TicketDeletePlugin? builds fine, so I don't know what's going on :/

This is a setuptools bug with SVN 1.4. Upgrade to the latest setuptools.

Following a tip on #3782, I was able to build the egg and install the plugin by getting the source with 'svn export' rather than 'svn co'.
