And Daniel Holth said he did feel differently, so obviously this hasn't moved forward in terms of finding consensus. Where does all of this sit in regards to trying to separate building from installation? From my perspective as mailing list lurker, it's sitting at an impasse as Nick hasn't made a final call nor has a BDFL delegate on the topic been chosen to settle the matter (obviously if I missed something then please let me know). Could we choose a Great Decider on this topic of build/installation separation and get final RFC/PEPs written so we can get passed this impasse and move forward? -Brett > > > — Donald Stufft > > On Apr 27 2016, at 1:38 pm, Ethan Furman <et...@stoneleaf.us> wrote: > >> On 04/26/2016 07:10 AM, Donald Stufft wrote: >> >> > Alternatively, he could have just produced a wheel from any checkout at >> > all if the MANIFEST.in excluded a file that would otherwise have been >> > installed. >> >> Yes.
