Yeah, there's a long and uninteresting history there. :) When I implemented package_data, I was already using a MANIFEST.in to include data in the sdist. Then, Fred ported package_data back into the distutils from setuptools, and then *after* that I added sdist-thru-revision-control support, so the distutils never got it, and setuptools never appeared to need it (at least to me). Anyway, I don't know if a fix for this can go into 0.6 or not, depending on how extensive a change is required. A patch would go a long way towards getting it into 0.6c6. There are way too many 'c' releases and I'd really like 0.6 final out before *this* year's Pycon. :) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
