From what I understand of the underlying use case, it's something along the lines of "we updated our git repository and pip didn't upgrade the package to the new version". So the problem here is likely that people are using URL references to point to something that changes over time, rather than to a "specific artifact" as PEP 508 specifies. It's quite possible that URL specifiers aren't the right solution here, but without a clear and fully specified requirement, it's nearly impossible to tell :-( Paul -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/FGLSZZVNTK43S7PRCJG6EORWMWXF65TH/
