When packaging on Windows, sdist creates PKG-INFO, which is different in linefeeds. It will be better if this is consistent between platforms.

The docs and PEPs only define the PKG-INFO file as “a set of RFC 822-style headers”.  Character encoding was defined later to be UTF-8; there is no mention of explicit choice of platform-consistent or cross-platform linefeeds.

Are there tools out there that suffer from the use of CRLF in PKG-INFO files?  If not, I’ll close this as invalid: the behavior does not contradict the documentation.

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
