--record {plist} leaves a stray record in the plist

[yurivict]

The plist file that is recorded by the --record command leaves this string:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sfepy/meshes/

that shouldn't be in plist.

Found while trying to create the FreeBSD port. The error:

====> Checking for pkg-plist issues (check-plist)
===> Parsing plist
===> Checking for items in STAGEDIR missing from pkg-plist
===> Checking for items in pkg-plist which are not in STAGEDIR
Error: Missing: %%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/sfepy/meshes/
===> Error: Plist issues found.

What is the problem, and what can we do to fix that?

Well, what is a plist?

Well, what is a plist?

The command
python setup.py --record=plist.txt

creates the file plist.txt that contains the list of installed files.
This is a standard feature of distutils.

I see, thanks. If I try running (with distutils 2.7.12)

 python setup.py install --record=plist.txt --user

on a linux box, the generated file does not contain the .../sfepy/meshes/ directory - there are only the files .../sfepy/meshes/{filename}. Do you have an idea, why the problem happens on your platform?

[yurivict]

I don't know why this happens on FreeBSD.
