[Distutils] problem with bdist_rpm --doc-files

[Alexandre Fayolle]

Hello,

I could not find the answer in the archive (but them being non searchable
makes this difficult...). I'm trying to build a rpm package using
distutils 1.0.1 on a redahat 6.2 box (python 1.5.2). 

I have a script that should go in site-packages, a utility library called
lib (maybe not the best choice, I've told the author), and some
documentation in 3 directories (doc, dtd anx examples).

My setup.py looks like:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from distutils.core import setup

setup(name="pygantt",
      version= "0.6.0",
      description = "generates Gantt diagrams from XML specification",
      author = "Nicolas Chauvat",
      author_email="Nicolas.Chauvat@logilab.fr",
      url = "http://www.logilab.org/pygantt",
      #package_dir = {'':'.'},
      #packages = ['lib'],
      py_modules = ['pygantt','lib.HTMLRenderer','lib.Task','lib.common'],
      )
      
and the setup.cfg file is:

[bdist_rpm]
doc_files = doc/TODO doc/index.html
	dtd/project.dtd
	examples/project.html examples/project.dtd
packager = Alexandre Fayolle <alexandre.fayolle@logilab.fr>


Now, when I run setup.py bdist_rpm, this is what I get:

<snip the end of the output>

What am I missing? Is it forbidden to put subdirectories in --doc-files? 

Thanks for your support.
