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. |
