How do you test a dependency without changing it? How do you test a dependency that is unreachable? It seems to me you are arbitrarily limiting this discussion to problems installing software on production servers. This is not reasonably real-life limitation. If a server is unreachable, it is unreachable even if you aren't installing production software on a server. It's equally unreachable if I need to download something for testing on my local machine. That's now all the energy I'm willing to spend on discussing this topic. Third-party hosting needs to go. I believe there is a broad consensus on this. Let's instead discuss *how* to implement it. //Lennart _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
