Yeah if you are using git-archive it is going to make a zip containing everything in the tag so you need to extract that afterwards and clean out non-distributable stuff. Some folks are also using paver to do package preparation - check at some of the Boundless plugins for examples...

One thing that might actually be nice is for us to introduce some kind of Manifest file for plugins (we could just copy the system from pip) so that plugin authors can specify which files and resources get packaged.

Regards

Tim
