Robbie Gemmell resolved PROTON-1792.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Done
> clean out older releases from the dist repo
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PROTON-1792
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1792
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: release
> Reporter: Robbie Gemmell
> Assignee: Robbie Gemmell
> Priority: Major
>
> The Python bindings for proton-c are published at PyPi, and in order to allow
> a seemless install there, a system was added such that if the relevant
> proton-c version couldn't be located on the system already then the setup
> would implicitly compile and install a local version for use.
> Unfortunately, when this functionality was added in earlier releases, around
> 0.9, reference was made to apache.org/dist/qpid/proton/ to download the
> matching release archive for installation.
> The 0.15.0 package at PyPi instead got the files via the GitHub mirror for
> the source repo, and so wasn't affected.
> The issue was addressed in proton-0.16.0 via PROTON-1330, to distribute the
> needed proton-c files within the generated python binding source bundle.
> As a result of the issue older releases have been left at
> apache.org/dist/qpid/proton/ longer than they should, and also on the mirrors
> as a side effect of this, to avoid breaking things for actually relying on
> the bindings implicit proton-c install functionality.
> Now that significant time has passed since a release was last affected by the
> issue, and from chatting with [~kgiusti] and [~jr...@redhat.com] we aren't
> aware of significant remaining usage of these older versions by other
> projects, it seems a reasonable time to now clear them out.
> Anyone affected can still use the older python binding versions by grabbing
> the appropriate proton release from the
> [archives|https://archive.apache.org/dist/qpid/proton/] and installing from
> source, if there is a reason they cant simply upgrade to a newer version.
