X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/frontends/webapi.txt?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ed6019f78300254d95d5823e0e849604ac10fc9;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

setup: comment out the setup_requires on setuptools_darcs in order to work-around distribute bug 55
Note that we still inject the setuptools_darcs egg at the beginning of setup.py, which makes the setuptools_darcs plugin work when building dists from tahoe-lafs source so those dists have all of the needed files.
