1 Hi
2
3 I have just noticed that if package is using relative paths in::
4
5 setup.py data_files = ...
6
7 Then the files are installed right into /usr in case of CPython (The
8 exact dest is determined by sys.prefix)
9
10 So, I'm thinking it could be worthwhile to add a warning to repoman if
11 package is using this method as I can imagine this can be easily
12 overlooked when creating a new package or mostly when bumping one.
