The path to your cache directory is incorrect.  I suggest using
absolute paths (eg. /home/user/packages) instead of relative paths,
which is likely what caused this issue.

Actually, you could even tar up that entire repo (or even get a nice
ready tarball from GItHub) and you will get something usable with pip.
 For example, we in the Nikola project
(https://github.com/getnikola/nikola) upload the GitHub tarballs to
PyPI because we ship 99.9% of our tree anyways and hiring `setup.py
sdist` would be a waste of time (and would produce two
almost-identical-but-not-quite tarballs).
