 * I get the same TypeError: dist must be a Distribution instance in failure Ubuntu 14.04 for both the --user and sudo versions of python setup.py develop command in the instructions.  There's no zypper in Ubuntu, so I'm not sure how to proceed. -- S Page (WMF) (talk) 23:12, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Why create a remote named "gerrit"?
"Configure JJB" section says to run

git clone -o gerrit ssh://gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/integration/jenkins-job-builder-config.git config

Why insist on a remote named "gerrit"? It just causes misery later when every other git command you read tells you to fetch/pull/merge from the remote named origin. If this is actually needed, please say why. -- S Page (WMF) (talk) 23:23, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
