Created attachment 888550 [details, diff] distutils-r1.eclass: remove wheel metadata that is bad for distros pip has a wonderful track record of inconsistency and half measures. At times, gentoo has patched pip to prevent it running as root at all. Currently, a pip option to require an option before modifying the global packages is enabled, but that has the downside of, well, permitting users to pass an option to mess things up. In order for pip to uninstall existing portage-managed packages, it needs to know what files are owned by the package. The pip equivalent of portage's CONTENTS is "RECORD". It is optional and as an installing tool we should exercise our discretion to not install it: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/recording-installed-packages/#the-dist-info-directory
Other files that may appear: - METADATA: needed - entry_points.txt: needed - top_level.txt: useful to applications mapping available imports - direct_url.json: not created by gpep517 - INSTALLER: not created by gpep517
