Well. I've just got tar.gz with soource distribution.

I noticed that MANIFEST file should not be there! Only MANIFEST.in
It is created as a result of setup.py. The presence of MANIFEST could
have some side effects on people who forgot to delete it
when switching to version.

So, the general advice is to run

setup.py sdist

to get source distribution right. Distutils strip all CVS's and things
like that automatically, so it is OK to run them in the chkedout
directory.
