Not able to compile DateField plugin

[tatrai.jozsef@…]

I'm not able to compile the DateField plugin, either version of it. Tried all version from SVN, source also. Never succeeded.

My Python version is 2.7, my trac version is 0.12.2.

The error is the following:

[root@dev datefield]# /opt/bin/python2.7 ./setup.py bdist_egg
running bdist_egg
Traceback (most recent call last):

It's a setuptools + SVN problem. This has previous been reported for various plugins in #10778, #9709 and #9565. See comment:4:ticket:10778 for some solutions. IIRC, upgrading setuptools also fixes the problem, but I don't recall the specific version that is needed.

Btw, please let me know if one of the suggestions works for you.

Thanks, comment:4:ticket:10778 was the solution!
