In the mean time version 1.9.1 was released. With this release I noticed that the pdf documentation gets updated and therefore the hash changes and breaks the package. For this reason I think that, as you suggested before, we should build the documentation locally. As mentioned before, this requires matplotlib and matplotlib requires numpy. So I will make a numpy package without documentation and use it as input to matplotlib as you suggested. I'm thinking of calling this 'numpy-bootstrap' and of not exporting it (use 'define' instead of 'define-public'). I now got matplotlib building and able to generate its own documentation, but would like to add the pygtk backend before supplying a patch for review. Regards, Fede
