Change in behavior for 'requires.txt' in 36.2.0

See original GitHub issue

It seems setuptools v36.2.0 changed the behavior of {package}.egg-info/requires.txt generation. I suspect this was introduced by #1081. We saw this in pbr as it broke our unit tests. We have since fixed this, but ideally this behavior shouldn’t have changed in a minor release.

I don’t want to revert that change but I also would like this behavior to remain as consistent as possible (for as long as requires.txt files are used, anyway). I can work on a test to ensure this is the case.

@pganssle: yes, it’s easier, I have no problem with us implementing/testing it that way. The issue is with other projects doing the same.

@benoit-pierre I guess the other side of this is that guaranteeing a specific order is probably in many ways easier than guaranteeing that the order is stable (since we can always re-order the outputs at the very end), and it’s much easier to test for guaranteed-order than it is to test for stable-order.

@jaraco If you’d like I’m happy to write a new test that checks that this works in some order-independent way, though I’m warming up to the idea of “we should sort anything where we weren’t guaranteeing order”, for purposes of build reproducibility, in which case this test seems fine.
