The git repository has unusable layout

[mgorny]

I'm trying to package this for Gentoo since mypy started requiring it. However, there doesn't seem to be a single usable distribution archive available for this package:

1. Source distribution is missing tests (kinda per Add more tests to sdist (and maybe test_capi.cc) #11).
2. The git repository has broken layout:
   • if I build from top-level pyproject.toml, the extension isn't built
   • if I build from lib-rt subdirectory, there is no package metadata

Could you please:

1. Fix the repository so that it can be used without manual manipulations, and is consistent with the source distribution?
2. Include tests in the source distribution so that i can be used by downstream packagers?

TIA.

Hey @mgorny , I agree. For the Debian package I found this workaround, but it is messy and I had add a cleanup step:

librt/.github/workflows/buildwheels.yml

Lines 90 to 93 in f2c73cc

	- name: Copy library content
	shell: bash
	run: |
	cp lib-rt/* .

Since we need to keep this repo synced with mypy this (unusual, but not invalid) directory layout is more convenient. You can use cp -r lib-rt/* . before build if you want to build from repo.
