let's add a metatadata section in setup.cfg, to express all the metadata fields instead of using setup.py options.

and change the mkpkg script accordingly

I’m starting on this now. Monitor http://bitbucket.org/Merwok/distutils2-killsetup for updates.

Is "+gsoc" a keyword too ? :O

“keywords: +gsoc” means that the “gsoc” keyword has been added, yes. Tarek asked for this keyword to track things.

(P.S. Please remove unnecessary quotes from your replies, it’s clutter,  and don’t send HTML email to the tracker, that creates a useless unnamed file. Thanks :)

merwok: Pont noted. I replied it via Gmail, was unaware of the fact that it adds an unnamed file.

Update: PEP 390 is made obsolete by PEP 345, so the parts left unspecified are being worked out now. Starting point is proposals collected during PyCon 2010 and published here: http://bitbucket.org/carljm/sample-distutils2-project/src/

This was finished by Tarek and other people some months ago.
