Subject: Does Not Check Existence of Files in MANIFEST
As far as I can tell, aside from checking that the filenames provided in the MANIFEST are not duplicates, the module doesn't check that the files actually exist in the distribution. I would think it's important for a module like this one to check: 1. Files in MANIFEST exist in the distribution; and 2. MANIFEST is not missing any files; unless 3. The files or masks are named in MANIFEST.SKIP This would mean also adding a parameter for a "MANIFEST.SKIP" file. I would be happy to try to hack together a patch if this would speed the process, but it seems trivial enough to do. Please e-mail me if you would like me to patch it. Cheers, Jon
