[issue5302] Allow package_data globs match directories

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

Hello

Tarek, could you briefly explain the arguments that convinced you?

If MANIFEST.in is removed, perhaps we could use convention instead of configuration to categorize files, like what DistutilsExtra does: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~python-distutils-extra-hackers/python-distutils-extra/debian/annotate/head%3A/doc/README#L42

(Changing component and versions since Distutils is frozen)

Regards

----------
components: +Distutils2 -Distutils
nosy: +merwok
versions: +Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 3.2, Python 3.3
