The challenge here is again the distinction between raw source and sdist, and the interaction with revision control. Either there has to be some way to tell MEBS (i.e. the overall build system) what tool you're using to generate that JSON, or you have to check a generated file into revision control, and make sure you've updated it. (Which is error prone, even if you don't mind checking generated files into revision control.) This strongly suggests there needs to be *some* human-editable way to at *least* specify what tool you're using to generate the JSON with. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
