Greetings Catalogers, I'm the maintainer of a setuptools plugin for git called gitlsfiles. After the urge to push my first release out of the door had subsided, I could not help but to realize that it was a really silly name that I had chosen for this plugin. So I engaged the other setuptools plugin maintainers for advice and we all agreed that it would be best for everyone if our plugins were called setuptools_<rcs>.
I'm about to push setuptools_git 0.3 out of the door but I want people to stop using gitlsfiles. I understand, thanks to Barry Warsaw's investigation, that PyPI has currently no support for automatic redirection for deprecated packages. How should we proceed to indicate that the old package are deprecated? Upload a newer PKG-INFO with a big deprecation warning and no files? Any other suggestions? -- Yannick Gingras _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
