Failure to build webadmin in trac 0.10rc1

[anonymous]

Using the latest trunk version of trac (0.10rc1), when I try to build the latest 0.10 trunk version of webadmin, I get the following error:

$ python ./setup.py bdist_egg

Probably a bug with setuptools-0.7a1dev_r46140.

Try either to downgrade to 0.6rc3 (last "stable" version) or upgrade to at least r51948, the 0.7a1 version that worked for me.

Alternatively, you could fetch the WebAdmin source by doing svn export instead of a svn checkout: this will avoid the get_svn_revision() issues.

Yes, this is a bug in Setuptools (triggered by a change in how Subversion stores working copy meta data in 1.4).

The issue was fixed in setuptools 0.6c3. See:
