Re: [Distutils] What to do about the PyPI mirrors

How about building a deprecation period into the tooling? pip 1.5+ could warn users who are using *.pypi.python.org of the error in their ways and encourage them to switch to the new system and gives a date of total removal. After removal the code could also be removed from pip 1.x+.

pip 1.5 already warns if you use ``--use-mirrors`` or ``--mirrors``. I suppose a warning could be added if you use -i N.pypi.python.org as well. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
