[QA] git-review 1.24 broken?

[Željko Filipin]

A few days ago, I got this warning message after pushing a commit to Gerrit
via git-review:

***********************************************************
A new version of git-review is available on PyPI. Please
update your copy with:
  pip install -U git-review
to ensure proper behavior with gerrit. Thanks!
***********************************************************



I had version 1.23

$ git-review --version
git-review version 1.23



I have followed the instructions and got version 1.24. (I had to use sudo
on my Mac to get pip install to work.)

$ pip install -U git-review



But then, git-review broke completely:

$ git review
(...)
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)  # XXX put more info here
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: git-review



Since I did not have the time to debug this, I have gone back to 1.23 and
everything works again. (Do not forget sudo.)

pip uninstall git-review
pip install git-review==1.23



The problem is already reported[1]. The workaround is to upgrade
setuptools. (Do not forget sudo.)

$ pip install --upgrade setuptools
(...)

$ pip install -U git-review
(...)

$ git review --version
git-review version 1.24
