Wheel releases? about chameleon

The tests should be part of the source distribution as upstream packaging for linux distributions like to run the tests for the sdist.

How much makes removing that three directories the sdist smaller?

There's now a wheel release for 4.1.0 – it does not contain tests.

Both the source and wheel distribution files are now generated as part of the main workflow action.

The next step is to automate the release workflow, see #399.

For the zopefoundation projects we use https://pypi.org/project/zest.releaser/ which makes the release process easier and automatically creates and uploads wheels.

I see the setup.cfg has a [bdist_wheel] section, which is enough for zest.releaser to conclude that a wheel should be created and uploaded. Just run fullrelease.

34096ef tried to shrink source distribution (excluding tests, etc.) but this doesn't seem to work. For the 4.0.0 release I have simply manually run:

$ rm -rf docs benchmark src/chameleon/tests

It would be nice to have a better process for this.

108 vs 170 KB – not too much I guess.

There was a wheel for 3.9.0 but then only sdists again for 3.9.1, 3.10.x, 4.0.0 and 4.0.1
