Description

Django 0.96.2 release tarball is missing two directories:

  • extras
  • examples

As 0.96.1 contained them I presume this is a mistake.

Actually, the 0.96.1 tarball was generated by an svn export, while 0.96.2 was generated by using the setup.py script. What this means, really, is that the setup.py script was borked (a known issue), but unfortunately I don't think we can do much about it; the bugfixes branches are really only for critical security fixes.

From packagers point of view this is serious, as the tests directory is also omitted - that means that when you install Django you have no way of any automatic testing. It's also a regression of functionality: something was available in previous releases, now it's not. Keeping the same method of generating tarballs would be ok, providing alternate tarball (created from svn export) would work too.

Issue worked around by using both versions.
