Comment 5 for bug 1419695

We are trying to get the same behavior between multiple package system installation here (ruby, npm, pip…). All the others have the sane use default.

When we started to write about it, the Debian bug was in discussion and opened and I saw that you discussed that it was in progress upstream. However, multiple months after the initial discussion, I don't see any progress and Ubuntu is a week away of its feature freeze. Are you close to ship an upstream solution that will fit in our Ubuntu feature freeze date? How can we help there?

I would of course prefer an upstream-compatible solution, but you need to understand that we can't always wait for releases (the upstream bug is opened about a year ago) without going forward. I'm opened to any idea to help you getting there in that timeframe.

As one of the goal of vivid is to get a good develoepr story, which pip doesn't provide at the moment, we need at least a solution for this cycle.

Note that I wrote in the man on purpose that this is a default specific to ubuntu and the flag as well, I can make it even more clear if needed.

I'm opened to any re
