OK, this is a good usecase for including non-VCS files. But then again, nobody ever said that this would *not* be possible. In this case you are likely to have several intermediate files that you are not interested in including, and the question is if you want to include the source files used for this external build tool at all. So would automatic globbing be better? Wouldn't you need to specify which files that should be included here? -- Lennart Regebro: Pythonista, Barista, Notsotrista. http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
