Re: [matplotlib-devel] Matplotlib PPA

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

Thanks.  Sorry about not communicating the new dependency very well.  As 
this only affects those building the docs (meaning primarily developers 
and not end-users) it wasn't given the same care.

We had had some back-and-forth about whether to include a local copy of 
numpydoc in matplotlib, but ultimately decided not to as this is 
generally not what packagers like to see.  In there a way to depend on 
numpydoc from the development release in your PPA (only as a build-time 
dependency?)
