Hey,
I think some people are unaware of the fact that hosting themselves
their packages can lead to problems when their websites are down.
I'd like to propose these two very simple changes:
- in packaging/distutils2, when the register command is called, just
state that uploading the package would be a good idea �:)
- in pypi.python.org, on a project page that has no file uploaded, if
the user connected is the project owner/maintainer, add a small
message explaining why it's a good idea
Maybe that could help reducing the number of external packages
I'll definitely do something in distutils2 but maybe someone has a
better
idea ?
Make it easier to upload packages to PyPI. �For example, add an scp-
based
interface
I think Martin added some ssh capability lately. Would make sense to
add it in distutils2.
It's weird ssh stuff that so far hasn't seemed to make anything easier.
I'm not entirely sure what its goal is.
or make "upload" work even if the package files exist on the
filesystem somewhere already.
I am not sure to get that one. Like
$ python setup.py upload /any/random/file ?
Yes, like that. There are already server-side checks (which are too
strict in at least one place, preventing legitimate files from being
uploaded), so I don't see how it's a problem. Plus, if I really want to
dump garbage onto PyPI, then I can still use the web interface. Making
uploading inconvenient isn't a strategy for keeping trouble away.
