Issue 808129: Change --changelog to accept files (original) (raw)

Thanks for the report Tony. Sorry for the late reply, I tried to review a lot of distutils bugs some months ago but didn’t manage to read all of them. I’m assigning this to the distutils maintainer. Distutils is mainly frozen now, since we’ve seen that even changing undocumented internals may break third-party tools replying on them. New work happens in distutils2, where rpm-related code has been removed, because platform-specific tools are in a better position to comply with platform-specific oddities and policies.

Tarek, can this feature make it into distutils or does the freeze apply?
