Standardise on license_files, omit when possible?

See original GitHub issue

About:

adds license_file / license / license classifier if LICENSE exists

Newly released Setuptools 56.0.0 (changelog, docs, PR, issue) has deprecated license_file, and license_files should be used instead.

Further, if license_files is omitted, it defaults to LICEN[CS]E*, COPYING*, NOTICE*, AUTHORS*, matching the behaviour of bdist_wheel.

To simplify a project’s config, I removed license_file = LICENCE from a project’s setup.cfg, but then setup-cfg-fmt put it back 😃

Should setup-cfg-fmt standardise license_file -> license_files?

And, if the value matches the glob pattern, should setup-cfg-fmt omit it completely?

Thanks!

I understand that the glob thing is too new to implement right now but regarding the other request : There’s a replacement for the deprecated option, isn’t using license_files instead doable right now ? license_files has been supported in setuptools since november 2019 (in 42.0.0 https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/1767) and license_file has been deprecated in wheel for more than 2 years. https://github.com/pypa/wheel/commit/59976ab294e1b118f42cab404d95df66ed55f7e4.

Thanks, CentOS 7’s version of virtualenv is 15.1.0, older than the existing requirement.
