Package: python-pip-whl
Version: 21.3.1+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 setuptools wheel python-virtualenv python-setuptools
Now that we're bundling pip's vendored dependencies again, we only need
3 wheels for virtualenv. So we can replace python-pip-whl with
individual binary packages for each, built from their respective source
packages.
Plan:
1. Drop the python-pip-whl package, which previously provided *all* the
wheels required by virtualenv.
2. New binary packages:
- python3-pip-whl from python-pip.
- python3-setuptools-whl from setuptools.
+ Including pkg_resources in the setuptools wheel.
- python3-wheel-whl from wheel.
3. Optional new binary packages for Python 2.7:
- python-pip-whl from python2-pip.
- python-setuptools-whl from python-setuptools.
+ Including pkg_resources in the setuptools wheel.
4. Update python3-virtualenv to depend on these new binary packages.
