python-paver is a program and library to make building and installing python modules easy. We currently have 0.8 in F9, F10, and EPEL. 1.0 is built for rawhide. 0.8 and 1.0 are API incompatible. I'm going to update to the 1.0 version in the stable releases after it proves itself in rawhide due to two things:
1) There's a number of bugs in 0.8 that won't be fixed because 1.x is where work is being done. 2) It's a mess to try to support both paver-1.0 and paver-0.8 in one pavement.py file. My efforts to do so show that it's not possible to have all the functionality of 1.0 in 0.8.
If any project we're packaging is using paver to build and cannot upgrade to 1.0, let me know so I can either help with porting the buildscripts or start the review process on a python-paver0.8 compat package.

paver-1.0 packages for F9/10 and EPEL5 have now been built and submitted to the testing repos. Once again, if you need paver-0.8, please let me know so we can work on packaging and reviewing a compat package.
