setuptools-git setuptools_subversion in example buildout snippet? about zest.releaser HOT 5 CLOSED

Well, we could mention it. But I don't regard them as mandatory. The poreleaser is very handy, agreed.

But both setuptools packages are better replaced with a proper MANIFEST.in file.

Maurits? Nice advertising opportunity for zest.poreleaser :-)

I think better be safe than sorry. You probably don't lose anything having those deps there...?

Well, you invite mistakes by others that don't use the buildout. With a MANIFEST.in you're covered.

And: I dislike having unneeded things lying around. It is a bit untidy, imho. So in that sense it is a loss.

But if you (or Maurits) can phrase it as a suggestion or configuration example, it won't really hurt. Could you fork and make the change? That's easier for me to say 'yes' to :-) :-) I'm lazy, which is why I made zest.releaser :-)

Well, I have seen setuptools-subversion slow things down because it does an 'svn ls', which needs to talk to the server. So I am not sure if I still have that package installed currently.
And setuptools-bzr should logically also be added, but last time I checked it, it was broken. I don't remember if it could not be installed or if it simply failed when you tried to make a release in a bazaar checkout.
So: -1 on adding these as hard dependencies.
We could add these as an extra_requires in the setup.py and point to this in the readme.
