Is the bitbucket 'raw' source not suitable? It uses the version tag to indicate precisely which file is appropriate, which means we don't have to redundantly host that file elsewhere.
Oh, I think I see - there's no link that doesn't change - you want a permalink for the latest stable release. I hadn't considered that use case, but you're right - we do want that. Perhaps the file could be added to pythonhosted.org alongside the documentation. Or maybe it belongs on bitbucket in `downloads`. I need to figure out which is more straightforward w.r.t. authentication. The distribute process was messy because it involved SSH and keys that had to be manually managed. I'm leaning toward uploading it to BitBucket downloads as part of the release script. I'll put ez_setup.py for 0.7.2 in downloads for now. You can assume that's where the permalink will be. If anyone has a better suggestion, please raise it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Distutils-SIG [mailto:distutils-sig- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Tres Seaver > Sent: Sunday, 09 June, 2013 13:14 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Distutils] Setuptools 0.7.2 and Distribute 0.7 (compatibility > wrapper) on PyPI > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 06/09/2013 12:22 PM, Jason R.
