We should definitely upload them to PyPI. Right now, users won't even get them unless they explicitly say "pip --use-wheel", so there's not much risk associated with it. When users try them, they should just get a working installation instead of what happens now ;). > * Glyph mumbled something about sha sums of the release files, instead > of md5.

I think that as long as we're still using an old version of SVN, documentation is the only solution. Also we should have fewer bugs that need reverting :). -glyph _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
