A good rationale - question on packaging for things that fall outside the system repos.

have several packages where in the install section of PKGBUILD it does something like:

  pipopts="--isolated --ignore-installed --no-deps"
  pip $pipopts install --root=$pkgdir dist/*.whl

Will this continue to work or is there some change needed to accommodate this change?

I didn't see "--root" discussed in reference [1]

thanks
