 If you check out the WebAdmin plugin using:
 {{{
 svn co http://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/branches/jonas-dev/webadmin/
 }}}

 ...then a folder {{{ez_setup/}}} is included using svn:externals (see
 [2085]), and the file {{{webadmin/ez_setup/__init__.py}}} line 17 contains
 the following:
 {{{
 DEFAULT_VERSION = "0.6a1"
 }}}

 '''...which is not compatible with Trac 0.9'''. The incompatibility with
 setuptools 0.6x is documented on the TracPlugins wiki page, but I also
 confirmed this in my own attempts. You can build the plugin egg, but when
 Trac runs it fails to load the plugin. (The actual error is {{{Object
 EggMetadata has no attribute 'metadata'}}} if I remember right).

 Is there a way to override the {{{DEFAULT_VERSION}}} and set it to
 {{{0.5a13}}} until the incompatibility between Trac 0.9x and setuptools
 0.6x is resolved?
