Um ... I played with a few things ... looked at the source ... tried to 
grok what zope.interface was doing ...

Seriously, the only "change" is that I did a "setup.py install" in the 
buildbot workdir. Wait, no; I built an egg, dropped it in /tmp, and ran 
easy_install on that as a different user (one with sufficient permission; 
of course buildbot can't install software in the root).

Still the same zope.interface, though, because I had installed that from 
the Arch Linux repos, and easy_install used what was already there.

So yeah. that's all I did, really. Don't remember exactly when. I'd have 
to check my e-mail; I did it after Brian e-mailed around about the need 
for add-lease, because I was still running 1.2 from back in the day, and I 
needed 1.3 latest dev version to get add-lease. so I just tried running 
it, and it worked fine (even though the tests fail) and I'm using it now.

Wait, I think I can tell you what revision I easy_install'd ... it's 
r3784.

That's all I know.
