Éric Araujo 576c6d7ee1 Hide or remove user-visible XXX notes from distutils doc (#13716).
Requested by Florent Xicluna with the rationale that they make the docs
look unfinished.  When I get to replace the XXX notes with the real info
for packaging, I’ll backport it.

Also removed a few XXX notes that were not visible in the HTML but could
waste contributors’ time by suggesting improvements that are never going
to happen for distutils.
2012-02-26 01:21:31 +01:00
Éric Araujo c3cc2acb09 Improve interlinking of archiving/compression modules docs.
- Remove duplicate list of links to the other modules from each
  module’s doc (people can already go up to library/archiving and
  there they can see the list).

- Link to shutil high-level operations.
