An sdist is *not* just a tarball of the source files.
It is if you consider any non-tracked file to be an anti-usecase, which is what I was answering to :) Moving away from "using VCS is good" vs "using VCS is not good", maybe we should focus on the workflows to support. The most significant to me is reproducibility (python setup.py sdist output should depend as little as possible on its environment - whether the sources are under VCS or not, etc....). At least one person said this is not a requirement. Can we reach a consensus on this point, and then focus on the technical solutions ? cheers, David
