Description
What's the problem this feature will solve?
Extra undocumented command-line argument/configuration parameter potentially complicating debugging and code refactoring.
Describe the solution you'd like
Deprecation of --skip-requirements-regex
and then removal in 20.1.
Alternative Solutions
- Document this option and fully support it - In general we're moving away from these kind of workarounds - if this were suggested today I do not think it would be given much consideration
- Remove the option with no deprecation period - not preferred after some discussion in Remove undocumented --skip-requirements-regex #7188
Additional context
- Remove undocumented --skip-requirements-regex #7188
- pip is growing a lot of configuration settings/settings #6221
- No mentions of this option online except Handling of local Python dependencies dependabot/feedback#252 or copies of the pip source code
