[issue10932] distutils.core.setup - data_files misbehaviour ?

[Éric Araujo]

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

Thanks for the patch.  Would you like to complete it?  It lacks tests, and I think the fix may be in the wrong place: You fixed sdist but not bdists.  I think the root of the problem is in the manifest (distutils2) / filelist (distutils1) module.

(We want to fix bugs in distutils2 first and then backport them to d1, as explained in the short guidelines I linked to in msg126545, which I advise you to read.)

----------
stage:  -> needs patch
