Only *.png files are installed from help/C/figures

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

I tried to add a .svg icon to the help/C/figures folder in the language-selector package, but found that it wasn't installed. The problem was solved by converting it to a .png file, but it seems like the code ought to allow other image formats but .png.

Gunnar, do you want to try just duplicating line 31 and changing .png to .svg ?

Yep, that works. So does changing line 31 to:

data_files.append((path_figures, glob('%s/figures/*' % path)))

(Maybe there is some reason to not do that.)

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Gunnar, great. Could you submit a patch against
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/python-distutils-extra.git

and ping pitti?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Hi Martin,

Can you please change line 31 in DistUtilsExtra/command/build_help.py (or add another similar line) as above? I suppose you do it just as easy without a patch.
