New submission from Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk>: setup.py should be able to generate tarfile distributions on Windows without requiring tar to be on the path.
Ideally "setup.py sdist" should create the same type of archive (zip or tarball) by default independent of platform. At the moment it creates a zip by default on Windows and a tarball on Linux / OS X. Packages created on Windows also have CRLF line endings in the MANIFEST file which is a nuisance for non-Windows consumers of distributions. ---------- assignee: tarek components: Distutils messages: 89454 nosy: michael.foord, tarek severity: normal status: open title: Native (and default) tarfile support for setup.py sdist in distutils on Windows _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6296> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
