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 :)
That is an opinion, not a fact. For some circumstances, it may not be a
good idea.
This whole discussion seems to ignore the license issue. Last I knew,
PyPI would not accept uploads without agreeing to a license that some
people find obnoxious and unacceptible.
- 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.
Perhaps someone should ask people why they do not upload.
I'll definitely do something in distutils2 but maybe someone has a better idea ?
