Hello Christoph, The Python plugin isn't abandoned, but we have not been able to maintain it due to other higher priority issues for other plugins. Our best case scenario would be to find a user or users who use the Python plugin and are interested in helping maintain this plugin. We would definitely be able to support those efforts including PR reviews and help with coming up to speed on how to contribute.
I'd suggest a first step of working with Daniel (Python plugin maintainer) to come up with a gap analysis on what you would need from the Python plugin for your use cases. We could commit to PR reviews on bug fixes but no feature development in the near future (this next calendar quarter already planned out commitments.) To be realistic, I would recommend someone from your organization know how to send PR for any future discovered critical bugs to make this a feasible option. I'm anticipating together you may discover some additional efforts like CI/test fixes or releasing a new version that may be needed as well since it's probably a bit behind on that. Those aren't off the table but I'd support Daniel spending some time to figure out where we are with this. Does that sound like something you would be interested in? -Robin Robin Chan She/Her/Hers Satellite Software Engineering Manager - Pulp Red Hat <https://www.redhat.com> IRC: rchan <https://www.redhat.com> On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 4:18 AM Christoph Höger < christoph.hoe...@celeraone.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > I am currently in the process of investigating the usage of pulp for our > company's repository management and think I can fulfill all the > requirements except for a pypi mirror.
