Hi all,
We've been able to hold out for a long time, but this is to let you all
know that we have now had to switch the numpy build to rely on setuptools:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6895.
Main reason: plain distutils doesn't support PEP 440 naming. See
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/6257 and
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/6551 for details.
So if you see different build weirdness on master, it's likely due to this
change.
Cheers,
Ralf
