Implement the [resources] section described in:

http://hg.python.org/distutils2/file/tip/docs/design/wiki.rst

We also need to add a description of packages, scripts and modules.
The result should be that projects will not need a setup.py file anymore

[tarekziade]

and change the mkpkg script accordingly

[merwok]

I’ve read some distutils-sig threads about this. Do you still want to write a PEP for it before implementation?

[merwok]

I’m doing this after bpo-8252. Monitor that bug and http://bitbucket.org/Merwok/distutils2-killsetup for updates.

[merwok]

I’m working on the files section alongside the metadata section (bpo-8252. I will wait for resources, since it’s much more controversial. I’ll clean up mkpkg (see bpo-8591) before updating it to support the new sections.

This is now done thanks to Tarek and sprinters.
