Applications can be relocatable, yet require plugins and libraries to be upgraded, installed, uninstalled, etc. (Also, RECORD is cross-platform to allow cross-platform installation/testing of cross-platform packages; that's why I propose keeping the prefix information separate.) > Also, >why should the RECORD file be generated at all by bdist* commands? bdist commands that use "install --root" will get it as a side effect, so they don't have to do anything special. They needn't even generate the PREFIXES, if PREFIXES is also generated by "install --root", and omits the root from the prefixes written. In other words, most bdist tools wouldn't change. bdist_wininst and bdist_msi might need to regenerate PREFIXES at actual installation time, but AFAIK those are the only ones. (And the spec would allow for the possibility that a PREFIXES file can be incorrect.)
