[3.0.1] the doc is missing #59

I try to package this version but all the doc is missing on pypi.

Cheers

Currently, using setuptools + pyproject.toml, it's very hard to differentiate the contents of the source package and the wheel package. Apparently, everybody thinks it's normal to distribute the same contents with the two formats. That's why I was forced to remove the documentation folder from the source package... but clearly, that's not a good idea! I'll get back to it to find another solution.

I am wondering if you can not use the MANIFEST.in file for this purpose...

PierreRaybaut commented 1 year ago

Exactly :)

That's funny, we had the same idea at the same time :). Actually, using a MANIFEST.in was part of my previous attempts but setuptools has a very strange and complicated behaviour regarding this. I found a workaround which is to use a MANIFEST.in with just graft doc in it. It works but... I just hope that the behavior does not change in the next release of setuptools!
