Hi, I hope this is the right list for usage questions on distutils2/packaging. If not, please point me at the correct list.
I'm looking at how I'd translate existing setup.py configurations into the new setup.cfg format. One situation I'm not sure how to deal with is the package_data argument to setup(). This allows me to specify data files which are to be installed as part of a package. How would I do this in distutils2/packaging? The resources entry seems like the intended place, but I don't see how I can specify the destination without making too many assumptions about precisely where the package will get installed.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Paul.
