1220	build/install should be able to refrain from getting dependencies	gdt	gdt	"In a managed package system, each program's dependencies are expressed in control files and provided before the package builds.  If the package has more dependencies than expresssed, the right behavior is failure so that this can be fixed, and it is unhelpful to download/install code either from included eggs or especially from the net.

There are two parts to this problem.  One is downloading and installing things like py-cryptopp.  The other is that tahoe seems to have to need modified versions of standard tools and has included eggs.  This kind of divergence should be resolved.

I realize that this complaint is perhaps directed at setuptools, but tahoe-lafs inherits responsibility.

A reasonable solution would be to have a switch that packaging systems can add.

I put this on packaging even though the bug is in tahoe-lafs, not in any packaging of it."	defect	closed	major	1.11.0	packaging	1.8.0	fixed	setuptools security install packaging pip	zooko
