Hey,
I just noticed that the new packaging macros create a .dist-info directory instead of
.egg-info.
Just to be sure: There is no incompatibility between these two, right? So
setuptools-based code can still retrieve all the package metadata in .dist-info
directories?
(If so I can just update the package in Fedora as that dist-info change itself does not
break any backwards compatibility as far as other packages are concerned.)
Unless there’s something fedora specific going on, that should be correct. Upstream side,
anytime pip installs from a Wheel it produces a dist-info instead of a egg-info, so if
there was some compatibility issue, it should have been exposed awhile ago.
