[setup.cfg]

long_description_path: README.txt


long_description_path can't be added in the final PKG-INFO because
we want a self-contained metadata static file that doesn't require an
extra resource (like an external file)
Why this requirement?

Where this external file would it be located ?
There's just *one* metadata file that contains everything.

Fine, so when you generate setup.cfg from setup.cfg.in, process the long_description_path at that point and only insert the resulting long_description in setup.cfg .

cheers,

Chris
