There was a window between the write and the chmod where the user’s
password would be exposed, depending on default permissions. Philip
Jenvey’s patch fixes it.
These files are created by some NFS clients a file is edited and removed
concurrently (see added link in doc for more info). If such a file is
removed between distutils calls listdir and copy, it will get confused.
Other special files are ignored in sdist (namely VCS directories), but
this has to be filtered out earlier.
raised when the wrapped raw file is non-blocking and the write would block.
Previous code assumed that the raw write() would raise BlockingIOError, but
RawIOBase.write() is defined to returned None when the call would block.

The check command was fixed by Kirill Kuzminykh.
The register command was using StringIO.getvalue, which uses “''.join”
and thus coerces to str using the default encoding (ASCII), so I changed
the code to use one extra intermediary list and correctly encode to
UTF-8.
If the version of zlib used to compile the zlib module is incompatible
with the one that is actually linked in, then calls into zlib will fail.
This can leave attributes of the z_stream uninitialized, so we must take
care to avoid segfaulting by trying to use an invalid pointer.
Fix by Richard M. Tew.
This is a regression introduced in 9211a5d7d0b4, when uses of ST_MTIME
constants were changed to uses of st_mtime attributes. As diagnosed in
the bug report, this change is not merely stylistic: st_mtime is a
float but ST_MTIME’s resolution is rounded to the seconds, so there was
a mismatch between the values seen by file_util and dep_util which
caused an sdist to be unnecessarily created a second time on an ext4
filesystem.
This patch has been tested by John S. Gruber, who reported the bug.
As this is a simple code revert, I think it’s okay to commit without a
unit test.
The changed behavior of sdist in 2.7 broke packaging for projects that
wanted to use a manually-maintained MANIFEST file (instead of having a
MANIFEST.in template and letting distutils generate the MANIFEST).
The fixes that were committed for #8688 (d29399100973 by Tarek and
f7639dcdffc3 by me) did not fix all issues exposed in the bug report,
and also added one problem: the MANIFEST file format gained comments,
but the read_manifest method was not updated to handle (i.e. ignore)
them. This changeset should fix everything; the tests have been
expanded and I successfully tested with Mercurial, which suffered from
this regression.
I have grouped the versionchanged directives for these bugs in one place
and added micro version numbers to help users know the quirks of the
exact version they’re using. I also removed a stanza in the docs that
was forgotten in Tarek’s first changeset.
Initial report, thorough diagnosis and patch by John Dennis, further
work on the patch by Stephen Thorne, and a few edits and additions by
me.
