I'm actually in favor of removing the bdist_* from the standard library, and allowing 3rd-party tools to implement whatever they need for the distros. But I don't think what you're presenting there supports it.
I agree ... BTW ... bdist_rpm is also there in Windows, and viceversa, bdist_wininst is also the in FC | RH ... and noione needs that, except devs willing to build RPMs in order to provide their own installers ... but most of the use cases for distutils bdist_* cmds come from similar situations ... IMHO ... and the OS of users of a pkg doesnt match the OS of the devs. The later may even have different OSs installed ... ;) I mean, who is gonna use bdist_* if not devs or distro maintainers or somebody trying to build an installable artifact (... RPM, DEB, MSI, ...) for users having their own OS-flavors ? -- Regards, Olemis.
