My querying shows that we have a total of 359 projects that have ever uploaded two sdists for a single release. Looking at the number of releases that have 2+ sdists per project, it appears like there are a handful that do it regularly, and then the vast bulk have only done it once or twice (see: https://bpaste.net/show/fdfce63673ec). I’ve gone ahead and explicitly call out the restriction of a single sdist per release in the PEP, diff can be found online at https://github.com/python/peps/pull/75/files. > > Aside from that, I'm inclined to give folks another few days to raise > questions and concerns, and then consider the PEP for acceptance early > next week. > Sounds good. — Donald Stufft _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
