Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev

From ${URL} :

Prior to version 1.3 pip used '/tmp/pip-build' as a temporary directory and as per the report in https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/725 would follow a symbolic link placed at '/tmp/pip-build' when writing temporary files.
Is this the one actually fixed in https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/780/files


@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please say explicitly if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
