Hello,
I’m writing to get a discussion started regarding the future of PyPy
infrastructure hosted with the PSF.
This currently includes:
- pypy.org <http://pypy.org/>
- speed.pypy.org <http://speed.pypy.org/>
- downloads.python.org/pypy <http://downloads.python.org/pypy>
In April, I contacted pypy-sync on IRC to discuss how DNS records are handled
for pypy.org as it has been a barrier to making changes to PSF infrastructure
in the past. Because it is the only domain the PSF infrastructure team does not
have access to change we have had trouble completing migrations that are
related to this specific record.
Two things were mentioned that clearly got misconstrued by one of the members
of pypy-sync.
1) After noting scroll back mentioning some other domain, I mentioned that
the PSF is always available to accept transfer of Python ecosystem domains and
maintain their renewal in perpetuity
2) I said "on that note, i'm once again planning some migrations and the apex
record pypy.org is once again... an annoyance. The PSF infrastructure is going
to institute a policy in the coming months that for infrastructure we
host/provide we need access to DNS to make changes to PSF Infra relevant
records. who is best to discuss this with?”
When I returned, I found that a discussion had ensued that presumed a lot of
intent and was honestly hurtful. Since it occurred outside of a PSF online
space, I didn’t really have any recourse and just left the channel, I have not
returned.
So here’s where we’re at:
The PSF is always happy to provide any kind of service or resource to PyPy or
any Python-related project, but we do need appropriate access to do that right.
For example, we can't host services if we can't update DNS records in a timely
manner.
We need to either formalize a relationship between the PyPy team and PSF
infrastructure or part ways for the hosted infrastructure listed above. This
formalized relationship will need to have agreements regarding common access to
some resources at a minimum and also agree to discuss/collaborate on
infrastructure needs in a space governed by the PSF Code of Conduct.
