I'm looking at updating the numpy package in Fedora rawhide to 1.6.0b1. It appears to install a bunch of suff in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/doc (see below for examples). This seems wrong. Thoughts?
That is indeed wrong. It's caused by the following in setup.py:
# we want these files also in binaries/installed files, so it belongs here # instead of in Manifest.in config.add_data_files(('doc/cython/'), ('doc/pyrex/'), ('doc/swig/'))
Maybe those three dirs should be moved from doc/ to numpy/doc/ in the source tree?
It's not clear to me how they were included in the Windows .exe installer originally (the original ticket that led to this change[1088]). I don't think it was through the generic setup.py. The proper fix would probably be something specific to each binary installer.
