$ ./setup.py sdist running sdist running check warning: sdist: manifest template 'MANIFEST.in' does not exist (using default file list) not writing to manually maintained manifest file 'MANIFEST' creating foobar-1.0 making hard links in foobar-1.0... hard linking README -> foobar-1.0 hard linking setup.py -> foobar-1.0 creating dist Creating tar archive removing 'foobar-1.0' (and everything under it) $ cat MANIFEST README setup.py my_special_file Note, the MANIFEST should have been read and the resulting tar file should have had my_special_file in it. sdist complains about a missing MANIFEST.in template which it shouldn't, it should use the existing MANIFEST, it also emits a warning about not overwriting a manually maintained MANIFEST which it shouldn't. It should just use the existing MANIFEST. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20672/distutils_bug.tar.gz _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11104> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
