Hey

As Marc-André suggested, it would be a good thing to move the bootstrapping
file to
:https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute_setup.py
+1

I need to do something similar for buildout bootstrap files.
How are you accomplishing this?

By POSTing a multipart/form-data, like what the upload command does for sdists : http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/0f827775f7b7/Lib/distutils/command/upload.py#l68

I can write a small script that does it (bascially rip off upload.upload_file() and remove the part about the metadata)

We could also write a custom sdist that does this, with an extra_dist_files, but oh well.. :)


so we can use the PSF certificate and provide a better security scheme
Yay!

I guess we can do the change in zc.buildout and distribute and once it's
working, add a permanent redirect on the old address
You mean from the old to the new?

yeah


That'll also take care of the bad uptimes I have on my cheap server


Any concerns ?
Not from me.

Jim
