[13:25:02] <Alex_Gaynor> dstufft: wooo, 34 closed issues this week

[13:27:59] <dstufft> Alex_Gaynor: heh, trying to clear low hanging fruit before the release wheels start moving

[15:38:21] <Alex_Gaynor> dstufft: I think you can close https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/152 since I don't even know what it's about and the old link is dead

[15:39:07] <dstufft> Alex_Gaynor: done!

[17:53:44] <dstufft> murdering tickets feels so good

[18:16:05] <Alex_Gaynor> dstufft: 50 issues closed thsi week! You're doing great

[18:16:28] <dstufft> most of them are old or invalid but at least it cleans things up

[18:44:04] <pf_moore> dstufft: you after a place in the Guinness book of records or something? ;-)

[18:44:42] <dstufft> pf_moore: I"m a sick man who somehow derrives some perverse pleasure from re-reading 16 pages of issues over and over finding more things that can be killed

[18:45:09] <pf_moore> what can I say, the world needs more sickos like you

[18:59:18] <DanielHolth> so dstufft re #1232 pip doesn't have the "distribute -> setuptools" special case any longer?

[19:05:33] <dstufft> DanielHolth: no it still has it, but I can't even build a distribute wheel anymore (it's broken in ``pip wheel``) except for the no-op one that just installs setuptools. Plus distribute is ancient now and after a year nobody cared enough to do anything about it *shrug*.

[19:05:33] <qwcode> pip still has the distribute to setuptools upgrade logic.

[19:06:03] <dstufft> the hack is going to get removed in 1.7 I believe

[19:06:24] <dstufft> so it can stay open if you want, but it'll be closed once 1.7 is open for commits and the hack gets removed :)

[19:08:31] <DanielHolth> whatever gets 1.7 out faster :)

[19:08:57] <qwcode> we can remove it in 1.7, but do realize it can/will result in the setuptools and older distribute's conflicting with each other. I guess we accept that

[19:09:27] <DanielHolth> that bug was a direct result of the mentioned special case

[19:09:41] <DanielHolth> I might do more fresh virtualenvs with "no external index" and "wheel" than most people

[19:09:49] <DanielHolth> early adopter

[19:11:05] <DanielHolth> instead, my script writes a dummy istribute-0.7.3.egg-info to the virtualenv before running pip so that my older dependencies don't try to install it.

[19:12:37] <qwcode> dstufft, after the HACKS are gone, we'll need to tell people to "pip uninstall distribute; pip install setuptools" vs currently, it says "pip install -U setuptools" handles it

[19:13:37] <DanielHolth> we will have to do something to placate packages that depend on distribute explicitly
