Nice... first tests: * Going to "urls" and then clicking on [Change] gives an error: """ Name and version are required Name and version are required """ It doesn't matter which choice you select. * Will there be an RPC interface to register URLs with PyPI ? Doing this manually for a large number of files is, well, not ideal :-) * Adding URLs should do some more tests, I think: It's possible to register "test#md5=123" (without http/ftp and without providing the full MD5 sum). It's possible to register "../test/#md5=123", i.e. point to different files on PyPI itself. Not sure whether this is a bug or feature ;-) It's possible to register "test#md5=123&sha1=123". This is actually a good thing, since it allows implementing the hash tag extensions proposed by Christian Heimes. I'm just mentioning this, so that it becomes a supported feature. * I'm missing an option: [ ] Ask tools to scrape only the Download URL. This should result in the download_url being put on the /simple/ index page with rel="download" being set. Reasoning: This is the designated URL where packages should be downloaded from. With the current list of choices, I'd have to select the last option, which includes the old long description links and the homepage URL. Other things: ------------- * Would it be possible to add a link to the corresponding /simple/ index page on the package menu (the one with files, urls, etc.) ? * Could you add a link to the PKG-INFO file from pypi?:action=display_pkginfo to the /simple/ page as <version>-PKG-INFO (to match the other links) ?
