Just to let folks know the current SVN version fails to build on a
mac. I built the release (0.98.5.3) successfully from source so I
think my environment, dependencies etc. should be OK.
The problem seems to be building mac os x native backend:
building 'matplotlib.backends._macosx' extension

How can I disable building the mac os x backend. I copied
setup.cfg.example to setup.cfg and have "macosx = False" but it
doesn't seem to have any effect. "python setup.py config" still
reports "Mac OS X native: yes".
Thanks

PS - some minor comments about the sourceforge download page (I dont
know if these can be changed):
On the summary page ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/ )
the "download now" link which I would think should point to the
latest release point to 0.91. Then when you do 'view all files'
matplotlib-maintenance is the default expanded branch of the tree with
latest version 0.91.4. To get the real new version you have to close
this tree or scroll down to the normal matplotlib branch. If I didn't
know the versions to look for beforehand I think this would be really
confusing - can you make matplotlib the default instead of
matplotlib-maintenance?
Also I went to the Developer page to find the svn repo http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/develop and followed the
instructions there which of course started to pull in the whole repo.
When I found it taking a long time I noticed that I was getting
branches etc I didnt need. I know this is covered with the correct
command in the install page, but I thought it would be handy to change
it here as well to avoid someone else making the mistake I made.
These are very minor things and normally I wouldn't bother mentioning,
but since the matplotlib website etc. seems so nice I figured there is
someone who cares about this stuff - although I'm not sure whether its
possible to change this stuff in sourceforge.
I disabled macosx building by commenting out the
if options['build_macosx']:
clause in setup.py.

This appears to be a bug in the recent updates to the SourceForge interface:
I have set the default download file to 0.98.5, however, the setting doesn't seem to stick. Hopefully SF will resolve this on their own.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is changeable. It does include the easy-to-miss caveat right underneath it (on certain pages, but not on others, depending on how you get to it):
Warning
This is a generic Subversion checkout command which will pull
all modules, tags and/or branches of the project. Please refer
to project home page for specific SVN instructions, or use
"Browse Repository" link; in most cases, you will want to add
'/trunk' to the HTTPS URL above to check out only trunk (main
development line).
It's nice to see Sourceforge putting some effort into usability improvements again (though the roll-out has been less than perfect). Hopefully these sorts of things will finally get addressed.
Cheers,
Mike

I think as well the default downlaod it would be good to have
'matplotlib' branch above 'matplotlib-maintenance'. I think there is a
recent post on the list with someone else downloading 0.91.4. I'm not
sure if thats whats in the ticket - I can't access that link since I
dont have a log in.

That wasn't on the page I got it from, honest! (It really wasn't - I
just clicked on Develop on the menu tab)
