bootstrap script not updating on bootstrap.pypa.io

It seems the bootstrap script is once again not reflecting the updated code in the bitbucket repo. Accessing https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py currently returns the bootstrap script for 3.5.1.

For me, https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py now uses 4.0.1 -- which then in turn seems broken (I literally cannot install other packages if I have that version).

Sounds like this issue has been resolved.

@hhansen Please file a ticket describing your problem. I have not heard any reports of issues with 4.0.1.

The bootstrap did not update yesterday to the latest, which is currently 5.0.1. It currently points to 4.0.1, which was removed from PyPI, so the current bootstrap is broken.

Something has gone wonky with the mercurial on the bootstrap machine... It's not seeing any changes even if I run it manually.

Would it be OK to use the github mirror as the "cannonical" location for ez_setup.py and have the bootstrap box pull from that instead of from Bitbucket?

I switched the bootstrap server to use https://github.com/jaraco/setuptools.git@bootstrap as the cannonical location for the script. The mercurial bookmark stuff seems janky and fragile :(

That should be suitable. It's possible to get out of sync, but not too likely and easy to correct.
