[Pywps-devel] pywps distribution

[G. Allegri]

Ok, but the first time a user install it he can be confused. It
happened to me, I was looking for such files in the installation
folders and I couldn't find them. At the end I found out that they
hadn't been copied by the installar as they were -dist files.

I imagine that the installer should copy everything. Once the user
does an upgrade, the -dist files won't overwrite the configured ones,
as they were already renamed.

Am I wrong?
