[Docutils-develop] [docutils:patches] Re: #189 Remove 'prest'

[Takeshi K. <tk...@us...>]

It would be great if we'll be able to install the HEAD of docutils via
git command directly.
At present, we need to clone the repository before installing it
because docutils package is placed under the docutils directory.
The separation will resolve that.

** [patches:#189] Remove 'prest'**

xref sourceforge.net/p/docutils/mailman/message/36748625 -- an earlier attempt.

It has now been 11 years (08/12/2010), and no changes. The code will remain in the souce control history should anyone want to revive it.

The first commit removes all the files under /prest and the second removes a final reference in the docs.

This code was quite confusing to me when I was first looking throuh the Docutils source tree - I hestitated to contribute for a while as I thought I might need to know Perl or need to translate any contributions. 

As a current contributor, when searching through the full codebase, there are spurious results from prest that are annoying -- not insurmountable, but a common annoyance, and I think dropping this would solve both issues of clarity (Docutils is purely a Python project) and developer experience.
