Initially, just a form upload, with fields for name and content. Content must be a .tar.gz file. > Does uploading new files implicitly > remove all old files, or add to them? It removes all files, yes. > Would something like rsync be possible to make it more efficient? If that ever gets a problem, we will have to buy more disks first, I fear. It would be possible to set up rsync, yes, although I'm not sure how to have rsync use the PyPI accounts for authentication - the passwords aren't stored in a suitable form (instead, they are SHA hashes). Does anybody have a Python rsync server :-? I should probably set a size constraints on the file size also; I really do fear abuse. > Probably automated tools will > appear nearly instantly (I'd probably use the form about once before > writing a tool), so something like an API is called for. Form upload is not a sufficient API? Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
