             Summary: egg-info directory not cleaned during "make clean" and may cause stale dist
                 Key: ARIA-384
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIA-384
             Project: AriaTosca
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ran Ziv


When using the [release script|https://github.com/apache/incubator-ariatosca/blob/master/release/asf-release.sh] to create releases, it seems like in some cases the dist created may be "stale" e.g. after updating the {{manifest}} file, if the {{egg-info}} directory exists in the top-level directory of the project and is not cleaned.

The {{Makefile}}'s "clean" directive originally ran a command to clean the {{egg-info}} dir - However it was removed, because if the directory is removed, any editable installations of ARIA (i.e. "pip install -e" installations) will no longer detect the ARIA package as installed.

Rather than figuring out how to overcome this "staleness" problem, or alternatively cleaning up {{egg-info}} during release creation and then setting the {{egg-info}} dir back up, it'd probably be best to simply create releases on a separate, clean environment, where ARIA is installed normally and not in editable mode.
