I've just put out another Distutils code snapshot; this fixes all problems with Distutils 0.8 that I have heard about. If I don't hear anything bad about this snapshot, it'll go out the door as 0.8.1, probably tomorrow (Wed April 19) evening.
This snapshot still has the problem for processing MANIFEST.in files under Windows. This bug was fixed for a while in the CVS sources but seems to have gotten broken again. If you have a line like this: include test/autotest.py in your MANIFEST.in file, running "setup.py sdist" under Windows won't include this file because the path separator is wrong.

I couldn't reproduce this -- I tried both Distutils 0.8 and the latest snapshot under Windows today, and the sdist command works fine. (Well, OK, it doesn't work too well with the snapshot, since the snapshot doesn't include the full source distribution. But it didn't get hung up on slashes!) Furthermore, sdist.py hasn't changed since I added the slash-to-backslash fix. Can you post *exactly* what command you ran and what output you got?
