Description
Using MANIFEST.in currently runs into a pretty nasty scikit-build bug (scikit-build/scikit-build#886) that results in any file included by the manifest being copied from the install tree back into the source tree whenever an in place build occurs after an install, overwriting any local changes. We need an alternative approach to ensure that all necessary files are included in built packages. There are two types:
package_data
argument tosetup
. In this case we do not need to include CMake or pyx files because the result does not need to be possible to build from, it just needs pxd files for other packages to cimport if desired.I also reverted #12945, which was a stopgap solution to avoid this underlying problem. That change would have caused import issues inside the python/cudf directory when installing (the lack of an inplace build would have made the source tree unimportable) so this fix removes that minor limitation introduced in that PR.
