Hello
After some discussions with people at Pycon, we think that the MANIFEST template should be removed.
I would like to deprecate MANIFEST.in in Distutils, in favor of a package_data that can match directories with a glob-style pattern see : http://bugs.python.org/issue5302
What about documentation files, data files, examples, and tests -- all of which might need to be included in an sdist, but would not be "package data"?
that would be data_files, but I am wondering if we should have an explicit one for documentation files.
I mean, *non-installed* documentation, data, examples, and tests -- *none* of which would be currently listed in data_files.
