Hello

To avoid confusion, as suggested by Akira who works on cleaning the Distutils pages on the python.org website, I would like to move http://svn.python.org/view/distutils/trunk into a branch and add a README.txt in an empty trunk to explain the current status of the package. Any objection ? No. It be worthwhile keeping just the setup code and adjust that to take the distutils package from the python/ dir in order to build separate releases of the code for upload to PyPI (ones that basically provide the code as released in Python 2.x as separate download for 2.(x-1) and 2.(x-2)).

Indeed, and for any Python version in fact, to get early feedbacks between two Python releases.

I will make releases as you mentioned, and also a development release using the svn revision, so people can try out the current trunk.

'%sdev-r69676' % sys.version.split()[0] '2.7a0dev-r69676'
