Your NSHO is incorrect for many projects. Setuptools itself has some .egg-info files under revision control, for example, because they are needed to bootstrap setuptools itself. Other projects have metadata whose official source is under .egg-info. The EggTranslations library used by Chandler, for example, puts i18n/l10n resource files under .egg-info, and as such they are tracked by revision control. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
