It's not a major problem, but imagine some developer working on the sdist/bdist script. He now would require an internet connection for that. It's especially bad if it needs to download a non-trivial amount of data.

I could sdist Sage today, and from exactly the same source code sdist again and get a different result. Not good. Also, think about reliability. Imagine some website of a dependency goes down, then I suddenly can't sdist Sage anymore. Not good. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
