+setuptools_darcs Manual
+=======================
+
+About
+-----
+
+This is a plugin for setuptools that integrates darcs.  Once
+installed, Setuptools can be told to include in a package distribution
+all the files tracked by darcs.  This is an alternative to explicit
+inclusion specifications with `MANIFEST.in`.
+
+A distribution here refers to a package that you create using
+setup.py, ex:
+
+  python setup.py sdist
+  python setup.py bdist_egg
+  python setup.py bdist_rpm
+
+This package was formerly known as setuptools_darcs_plugin.  The name
+change is the result of an agreement by the setuptools plugin
+developers to provide a uniform naming convention.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+With easy_install:
+
+  easy_install setuptools_darcs
+
+Alternative manual installation:
+
+  tar -zxvf setuptools_darcs-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
+  cd setuptools_darcs-X.Y.Z
+  python setup.py install
+
+Where X.Y.Z is a version number.
+
+Alternative to make a specific package use setuptools_darcs without
+installing setuptools_darcs into the system:
+
+  Put "setup_requires=['setuptools_darcs']" in the call to setup() in
+  the package's setup.py file.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To use this plugin, you must first package your python module with
+`setup.py` and use setuptools.  The former is well documented in the
+distutils manual:
+
+  http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html
+
+To use setuptools instead of distutils, just edit `setup.py` and
+change
+
+  from distutils.core import setup
+
+to
+
+  from setuptools import setup
+
+When setuptools builds a source package, it always includes all files
+tracked by your revision control system, if it knows how to learn what
+those files are.
+
+When setuptools builds a binary package, you can ask it to include all
+files tracked by your revision control system, by adding this argument
+to your invocation of `setup()`:
+
+  setup(...,
+    include_package_data=True,
+    ...)
+
+This plugin lets setuptools know what files are tracked by your darcs
+revision control tool.  setuptools ships with support for cvs and
+subversion.  Other plugins like this one are available for bzr, git,
+monotone, and mercurial, at least.
+
+It might happen that you track files with your revision control system
+that you don't want to include in your packages.  In that case, you
+can prevent setuptools from packaging those files with a directive in
+your `MANIFEST.in`, ex:
+
+  exclude .darcs-boringfile
+  recursive-exclude images *.xcf *.blend
+
+In this example, we prevent setuptools from packaging
+`.darcs-boringfile` and the Gimp and Blender source files found under
+the `images` directory.
+
+Alternatively, files to exclude from the package can be listed in the
+`setup()` directive:
+
+  setup(...,
+    exclude_package_data = {'': ['.darcs-boringfile'],
+    			    'images': ['*.xcf', '*.blend']},
+    ...)
+
+
+Gotchas
+-------
+
+If someone clones your darcs repository using darcs but does not
+install this plugin, then when they run a package building command
+they will not get all the right files.  On the other hand if someone
+gets a source distribution that was created by "./setup.py sdist",
+then it will come with a list of all files, so they will not need
+darcs in order to build a distribution themselves.
+
+You can make sure that anyone who uses your setup.py file has this
+plugin by adding a `setup_requires` argument.
+
+  setup_requires=[]
+  # setuptools_darcs is required to produce complete distributions (such as with
+  # "sdist" or "bdist_egg"), unless there is a ${PKG}.egg-info/SOURCES.txt file
+  # present which contains a complete list of files that should be included in
+  # distributions.
+  # http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_darcs
+  setup_requires.append('setuptools_darcs >= 1.1.0')
+
+  setup(...,
+    setup_requires = setup_requires,
+    ...)
