Hey Barry, I disagree that this patch should be dropped. Look at the upstream bug and people thanking about that change, look at the g+ post and developers finding sanity in installing things locally.
I agree that it would be best to follow upstream rules, but seeing that this has been requested quite some time ago and don't see a real solution moving upstream, I have few hopes of this getting on time for wily. Do you have more information than the slow progress in upstream bug report? Remember that we deliver a platform for developers, and seeing most of developers reactions and other tools, people expect things to install localy by default, and at least, not have a stracktrace on pip install foo because it tries to install in /usr/local. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460203 Title: Drop set_user_default.patch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1460203/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
