    easy_install from svn

    Hi all,

    I currently use easy_install to install packages from a custom,
    locally hosted package_index. The index consists of a single html doc
    with a list of package names and urls. All works well.

    I would like to get a little more sophisticated and install a package
    from subversion.

    My package is structured as described in the setuptools docs.

    Simply pointing the url in my package index to svn://my/repo/package/trunk
    works, but I would like - and I get the impression it is possible - to
    be able to specify a revision number, or a tag and have that version
    installed.

    Is it simply a case of appending a fragment to the url?
    Would anyone be so kind as to provide a working example?

    cheers,

    Rob Cowie

      This is how we do it for lxml:

          Thanks.

          I guess I was wrong in thinking that one could add a revision number
          to the url fragment and have easy_install get that revision.
          Instead, I should explicitly specify the urls in the package index
          (and/or setup.py) and identify them with the fragment.

          So, to make a head version and a tag available, the following urls
          must be in the package index:

          svn://svn/my/repo/package/trunk#egg=packa ge-dev
          svn://svn/my/repo/package/tags/r1.0#egg=packag e-1.0

          and install them thus...

          easy_install -i http://may/index package==dev | package==1.0

          cheers,
