I always delete the MANIFEST before building a new release. That seems to do the trick.
Of course, this does the trick. But doing so also feels a lot like working around a bug or an unwanted feature.
If people agree on that, I can work on a patch to change this behaviour. Unless of course some distutil users actually rely on this.

The sdist command has an option --force-manifest http://www.python.org/doc/current/dist/source-dist.html#SECTION0005200000000... You could write it in one of your prefered config files for distutils http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/config-syntax.html So there is no need to make a patch for it. (Except maybe to better document this option so people find it better ;-) Kind regards Rene Liebscher
