[issue8688] distutils sdist is too laze w.r.t. recalculating MANIFEST

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw <barry at python.org> added the comment:

This is a regression introduced in 2.6.6rc1.  After discussion in irc with merwok, it is agreed that he will revert to pre-2.6.6rc1 behavior and not apply any fix.  It's way too late to be changing behavior in 2.6.6.  Folks using Python 2.6 will just have to live with the devil they know.
