[New-bugs-announce] [issue12830] --install-data doesn't effect resources destination

[trevor]

New submission from trevor <trevor at well.com>:

attempting to point the relative destination with "--install-data" does not seem to have an effect. the specified directory is created, but resources are still installed relative to the present working directory.

setup.cfg:

[files]
resources =
    externalfiles/tobemoved.txt = support


% pysetup3 run install_dist --install-data /tmp/example


/tmp/example is created with no files, ./support/tobemoved.txt is created
