Which is why we should act on Holger's pre-PEP to drop the rel="" attributes from projects that don't actually use them -- builds involving those projects will immediately drop to one HTTP request to PyPI, plus one to whatever host has the actually needed file. And that's without any tooling changes whatsoever: builds all over the planet will just get faster and more secure, right away. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
