May be. But to my observation it is very common that the PyPI tarball
is lacking something we can profit for our packaging.
Yeah, that's why I always dislike pulling from pypi.d.n or anything similar.
Often a lot of times, pypi doesn't vendor test files whereas GitHub does, and that alone looks a strong reason to pull from GitHub - atleast to me
That's why I
prefer the Github tarball - provided it is tagged which is unfortunately
not always the case. Seems like fighting against windmills to teach
upstreams sometimes. :-(
Sure.
However I do have a workaround for that.
You can pull from GitHub upto the commit a version is tagged, and add a "git mode" with "pretty=<version in pypi>+git%cd.%h" in d/watch
Sure, it has its own demerits but maybe worth trying - to me it looks better than pypi tags
