the orig.tar.gz is a cude packing of all files in the directory instead of a sdist about stdeb HOT 5 CLOSED

(What do you mean by "cude packing"? "crude"?)

What commands did you issue to get this result?

Does the py2dsc command give the same result?

from stdeb.

on py2dsc there are no issues, cause sdist doesn't ship tox data or my hg history but PKG-INFO instead

i think it really should use some kind of sdist instead of simply packaging up whatever it finds

from stdeb.

Again: What commands did you issue to get this result?

from stdeb.

i issued a sdist_dsc in my vcs checkout

from stdeb.

Build sdist using distutils. (Closed by 18af4d6)

Note that I may have screwed up various patching options here. I
need to go back and check this.

from stdeb.
