I think that's a poor practice; the long description shouldn't need to change every release and shouldn't include a changelog. > Can you detail on this one ? I would like to see more projects making their changelog a separate document, so it could be referenced simply and separately from other information about the project. This field would encourage that by making it more visible. > > Documentation-URL > > How would this one be different from Home-page ? The home page is a “first impressions” page. It usually doesn't jump straight into a user's guide and technical documentation and interface specification. Many projects have a separate index page specifically for documentation; the URL of that page would be the value for this field. -- \ “Value your freedom or you will lose it, teaches history. | `\ “Don't bother us with politics,” respond those who don't want | _o__) to learn.” —Richard Stallman, 2002 | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
