I'll read the proposal. I wonder how it is possible to layout a source tarball with hints to the OS packager on how to do the right thing. >From what I have seen, there is no really specification or convention for tagging a directory in a source tarball as 'doc' in a language agnostic and OS agnostic way. Does anyone know if the good people form Perl and Ruby have came up with a good solution? _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
