Release candidates are useful, but it's also something that I could  
learn to build myself with sdist. If there are any tricks to this, let  
me know.

One thing that I think has crept in since 0.8.1: when I build the Fink  
package, where the prefix is /sw, there is a file /sw/buildslave/ 
VERSION which is failing the Fink validation check.

Here's how this gets built for Python 2.6:

python2.6 setup.py build
...
python2.6 setup.py install --root=<buildroot>/sw

Then the .deb gets built from the <buildroot> directory.

With this structure, the buildslave modules get installed in /sw/lib/ 
python2.6/site-packages/buildslave (which I assume is where the  
VERSION file should go).

Could this be done by reading the "version" global from buildslave/ 
__init__.py?
