[02:01:14] <jimbaker> dstufft, any chance we can get this changed merged in?
[02:01:56] <jimbaker> i'm pretty sure we had something similar in virtualenv in the past for JYTHONPATH vs PYTHONPATH
[02:03:47] <jimbaker> lifeless, re JYTHONPATH vs PYTHONPATH - it's something i'm mulling we should support in the next release. don't know implications however for users
[02:04:18] <agronholm> but jython 3.5 will respect PYTHONPATH at least
[02:04:25] <jimbaker> we do support most of the other PYTHON*** environment variables
[02:05:21] <lifeless> jimbaker: so I can understand not changing older releases
[02:05:29] <lifeless> jimbaker: the updated patch is fien by me, but I'm not a committer
[02:05:33] <jimbaker> (next release of 2.7, namely 2.7.1, probably with some sort of compatibility setting... for 3.5, yes, we have to change)
[02:05:37] <lifeless> dstufft: is a little busy right now changing jobs
[02:06:01] <jimbaker> lifeless, ahh, that's not so good for us at rackspace to see dstufft go...
[02:06:24] <lifeless> jimbaker: I don't know if he's said where he's going yet
[02:06:36] <jimbaker> lifeless, i assume i will see you next month in vancouver?
[02:20:10] <lifeless> dstufft: huh, I didn't realise pip *does* support eggs - as_egg in req_install.py.
[03:37:57] <dstufft> jimbaker: there is no Jython 3.x release right now right?
[03:38:14] <dstufft> or more importantly, there is/will be no Jython 3.x release that needs JYTHONPATH?
[03:38:59] <dstufft> lifeless: as_egg is sort of a hack, we won't download a egg and install it, we only install sdists, however there is a parameter, --egg which says "when you install this, install it as an egg". It's a tremendous hack that I want to get rid of
[03:47:57] <lifeless> dstufft: why don't we use the orig directory to build from for non-editable file:/// urls ?
[03:48:38] <lifeless> dstufft: is --egg deprecated already?
[03:53:57] <dstufft> lifeless: it's not deprecated yet, mostly for reasons of namespace packages in 2.x, I'm not sure what we're going to do about that exactly yet, but I want to get rid of it
[03:54:10] <dstufft> lifeless: and I'm not sure re: file:// urls
[03:55:10] <lifeless> dstufft: ok, so you wouldn't object to us running sdist in the specified dir ?
[03:55:36] <lifeless> dstufft: I can copy the existing behaviour if you want
[03:55:48] <lifeless> dstufft: I'm shuffling around ownership of files on disk to enable caching
[04:02:21] <lifeless> dstufft: the other thing was teh build dir change
[04:02:38] <lifeless> dstufft: from req.name to a mkdtemp(req.name-)
[04:25:07] <jimbaker> dstufft, correct, although jython 3.x is currently just an idea in our heads
[04:25:16] <jimbaker> with a sandbox branch to try out
[04:25:24] <jimbaker> some changes in grammar, etc
[04:26:03] <jimbaker> i would conjecture on the order of two years away, perhaps more
[04:29:04] <jimbaker> dstufft, also, thanks for merging in! 2.7.0 final was just announced (soft build, just means we have one last chance to check build correctness), so we are in really good shape
[09:44:24] <lifeless> ionelmc: I wasn't planning on making it optional beyond having the metadata or not
[09:44:58] <lifeless> so I'm not sure that I'd even describe it as opt-out
[09:52:12] <ionelmc> lifeless: the point was that all the packages that currently use d2to1 (or pbr) will automatically get opted into the new behavior
[11:35:20] <ronny> agronholm: there was some pip support added for pbr style setup_requires metadata in setup.cfg so implicit easy_install can be avoided
[11:36:21] <agronholm> can I read more about this on distutils-sig?
[11:37:53] <ronny> not sure atm, i just caught on it via here and some pull requests
[12:30:01] <agronholm> it would really help if someone blogged about developments on packaging
[12:31:19] <ronny> agronholm: i suppose, feed would be nice with interesting changes
[12:32:26] <agronholm> I suggested that at pycon but I was mostly laughed at
[12:34:14] <Wooble> agronholm: were they laughing at the blogging, or the notion that there are developments? :)
[12:34:46] <ronny> agronholm: who did the laughing?
[12:35:10] <agronholm> several people whose names you would recognize :)
[12:35:42] <ronny> so spil? i want to scold them ^^
[12:35:54] <agronholm> I'm not going to name names
[12:36:10] <Wooble> I'd blog about packaging, but that would invite everyone to look at my packages and tell me all the horrible things I've done wrong. :)
