Bug 533390 – dev-python/pip-6.0.1 version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hello.

Since version 6.0 pip has functionality to chech if the current version is latest available from PyPI, see --disable-pip-version-check command line option desription from `pip help`. This functionality is irritating and useless since we have package manager to handle package upgrades. This should be fixed.

I can see two ways to achieve this goal. Either bump pip version to 6.0.1 in tree (which is good anyway since 6.0.1 has some fixes over 6.0) or disable this check in a system-wide config file, i.e. /etc/pip.conf

Contents to disable this check should be:
[global]
disable_pip_version_check = True

Please fix.

Reproducible: Always

Jeroen, I appreciate your work, but this is not about simple version bump. Consider the following situation: pip-6.0 is stabilized, while pip-6.0.1 is not. All users of stable will see message about upgrade to 6.0.1.

Python team, please disable pip's internal version check via system-wide config. Version bump is welcome too though.

Fixed in 6.0.2.
