This is a build change so if someone can add the trivial label to this PR..

Ping @thijstriemstra

@pradyunsg thanks for pinging me. The reason for this pull request is the same reason caching was added to pip: we want to minimze the amount of traffic and load on the pypi site. Downloading any package(s) from pypi more than once is a waste of resources.

You're right that travis should cache as well, I'll update this PR.

ping @benoit-pierre @pradyunsg can this be merged?

Could you merge the current master into this PR? Once that works, I'll happily merge. :)

I don't see any merge conflicts at the moment, so I wonder why?

Just to be sure. :)

@pradyunsg if you can give me the steps, I will give it a try.

Oh, sure!

Are you comfortable with the command line/terminal?

Yep.

(sorry for the delay in responding)

Essentially, you'd want to locally fetch a reference to the current master branch of github.com/pypa/pip. Once you have that, you can just run git merge <that reference> or equivalent.

I'll present 2 ways of doing this:

• Github has a bit of documentation on this: https://help.github.com/articles/merging-an-upstream-repository-into-your-fork/

• I, personally, added pypa/pip as a remote and then merge from that directly. That way, I only need to type a git pull command, which my terminal setup autocompletes for me. :)

  git remote add upstream https://github.com/pypa/pip.git
  git pull upstream master
  

@pradyunsg Done, thanks for the feedback.
