Version 1.2 of the metadata format adds a number of optional fields
designed to make third-party packaging of Python Software easier.
These fields are "Requires-Python", "Requires-External", "Requires-Dist",
-"Provides-Dist", and "Obsoletes-Dist". This version also changes the
+"Provides-Dist", "Provides-Extra", and "Obsoletes-Dist". This version also changes the
"Platform" field. Three new fields were also added: "Maintainer",
"Maintainer-email" and "Project-URL".

The label is a free text limited to 32 signs.
+Provides-Extra (multiple use)
+:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
+
+A string containing the name of an optional feature. Must be a valid Python
+identifier. May be used to make a dependency conditional on whether the
+optional feature has been requested.
+
+Example::
+
+ Provides-Extra: pdf
+ Requires-Dist: reportlab; extra == 'pdf'
+
+A second distribution requires an optional dependency by placing it
+inside square brackets, and can request multiple features by separating
+them with a comma (,). The requirements are evaluated for each requested
+feature and added to the set of requirements for the distribution.
+
+Example::
+
+ Requires-Dist: beaglevote[pdf]
+ Requires-Dist: libexample[test, doc]
+
+Two feature names `test` and `doc` are reserved to mark dependencies that
+are needed for running automated tests and generating documentation,
+respectively.
+
+It is legal to specify `Provides-Extra:` without referencing it in any
+`Requires-Dist:`.
