Removing `setup.cfg` and `MANIFEST.in` from root directory. #1783

Closed tomchristie closed 10 years ago

It really bugs me having these packging files taking up everyone's mental space in the root directory. Tempted to instead write and delete them as part of setup.py publish command.

TBH, I hardly see an issue here. The important things are either in the restframework, tests or docs directories. Do you have pointer relating to setup.py publish ? I never saw that yet.

I find them problematic, because they're the first set of things a user sees when they clone the repo, or visit on GitHub, but really they should be invisible details that no other users ever need to care about in the slightest.
