build: limit sdist contents to source and metadata files#65
Merged
Conversation
Mirrors apify/crawlee-python#1890. Without an explicit sdist target, hatchling bundles the whole repo, ballooning the released sdist and chewing through PyPI's cumulative project size quota on every beta release.

Summary
Mirrors apify/crawlee-python#1890.
The latest crawlee-python beta release failed when uploading the sdist:
pyproject.tomlonly configured the wheel target, so hatchling's default sdist bundled the entire repo. Each released sdist was much larger than the actual source. Combined with the fact that a beta release is published on every src-touching commit to master, the cumulative storage quota on PyPI hit the cap fast.This PR applies the same fix here: an explicit
[tool.hatch.build.targets.sdist]that ships onlysrc/apify_sharedand standard metadata files (CHANGELOG.md,CONTRIBUTING.md,LICENSE,README.md,pyproject.toml). Verified locally: built sdist is ~17 KB and contains only those files.Tests are intentionally excluded — they need dev-only deps that aren't installable from a plain sdist anyway.
Note
PyPI's cap is cumulative across all uploaded files, so the eventual mitigation requires a project size limit increase once a project hits its quota. This PR just keeps future releases from chewing through quota.
