<p>The 5.6 setup.py and friends can be found at <a href="https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/tree/5.6/leo/dist">https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/tree/5.6/leo/dist</a> and will be there for as long as Github is. Copying from the Github tag to root of a local Leo folder is functionally equivalent to copying from local dist folder to root:</p>
<pre><code>wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/5.6/leo/dist/setup.py \
-O=~/my-leo-distrib/setup.py
</code></pre>

<p>...for those who like to create distribution-specific packages (and want to bypass pip)?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There have a been changes in setup.py since 5.6 not specifically related to pip. Sooner or later using the old version will probably stop working. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/15731459/14420" rel="nofollow">Pip solves a lot of problems</a>, are you sure you can't use it? If there are specific reasons you can't, re-open this issue and we can explore what might be done. I'll need information and feedback though as I don't know about building distribution packages.</p>
