Not in setuptools 0.6 it isn't. However, it's really only useful for *adding* files not picked up by revision control; it can't *remove* files found by revision control. Manifest and revision control support are semi-independent, as it's quite possible to have files you don't put in revision control but which nonetheless need to be included in an sdist. (For example, you might want to have Cython/Pyrex-generated C code, or compiled documentation files.) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
