New submission from Chris Jerdonek: As discussed in issue 16108 and other issues referenced there, distutils lists the maintainer as the author in PKG-INFO when the maintainer is provided. However, the documentation does not state this.
This issue is to update the distutils documentation to state this, e.g. here: http://docs.python.org/dev/distutils/setupscript.html#additional-meta-data and here: http://docs.python.org/dev/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.core.setup ---------- assignee: eric.araujo components: Distutils, Documentation keywords: easy messages: 174785 nosy: chris.jerdonek, eric.araujo, ezio.melotti, georg.brandl, tarek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: update distutils docs to say that maintainer replaces author type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16403> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
