ah ok :D ... >> >> Yeah, the mirror is standalone or it breaks its intent (being useful >> when PyPI is down) > > It's unfortunate this instability was accepted for granted. Yeah, well we've made a lot of progress with PEP 386 / Metadata 1.2 Right now you can still push projects with a version number being "bazinga-boomya". Try to sort this.. PyPI will reject non-pep 386 versions with the newest metadata 1.2, that's why I am pushing hard on its adoption on client-side because it's a better long term solution. Having to guess if a version is stable or not with a version scheme that's free-form is quite a pain. The short-term fix that works well is to ask people not to push unstable stuff at pypi... people can always pick unstable version on the project website Cheers Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
