[New-bugs-announce] [issue11044] The description-file isn't handled by distutils2

[Julien Miotte]

New submission from Julien Miotte <miotte.julien at gmail.com>:

When using the description-file field with a README.txt, and then using the 'sdist' command, the generated PKG-INFO file will contain:

Description: UNKNOWN



Note: when using the description field with a simple string, the generated PKG-INFO file will contain the correct string.
