Could you elaborate? Personally I've never had such problems and as far as most software packages I have seen, both Open Source and commercial, not released as a single-file self-installer tend to come with rather crowded top-level directories... That aside, I agree pygrrc.example could find a better home than the top-level directory - perhaps, given how easy it seems to be to extract code and code-related content from REST, we should simply merge it into documentation? > In particular, I think setup.cfg and GPL could be moved elsewhere. > setup.cfg is still completely wrong, too, which doesn't help... setup.cfg: No can do, AFAIK setuptools only look for this file in the current directory - which in our case will be wherever setup.py resides. GPL: The convention for Open Source projects is to keep the software-licence file in the top-level directory and I think we should keep following this convention. > I also think README should be moved to README.txt, because mime types > are well defined for .txt and that helps Windows folk and Web viewers. Myself I disagree but only because of personal preferences, not any objective reasons. -- MS --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pygr-dev" group.
