[01:07:08] <dstufft> I don't know the answer to that
[01:07:16] <dstufft> I've seen it before, but I never bothered to figure out why
[01:07:35] <lifeless> but it will cause a silent failure for the no-install case, because we will be missing one or more dists and no announcement
[01:12:46] <dstufft> lifeless: I'm not sure tbh, I've never really looked close at that
[01:13:31] <lifeless> dstufft: so anyhow, ttps://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/2587 is gettingsomewhat sizeable
[01:13:50] <lifeless> dstufft: intermediary commits are failing, do you want me to polish them all up ? the tip does pass
[01:14:01] <lifeless> IIRC the failures are all flake8 whines
[01:14:10] <dstufft> Nah, we don't care about intermediate commits that much
[01:21:18] <dstufft> lifeless: I'll try to review tonight or tomorrow morning (9:20pm here), I've got a headache and I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to focus enough to sort out what pip was doing and how the diff affects it
