that obscures the real debate. Regardless of the outcome, the poll's
not going to change anyone's mind, and it certainly won't change the
fact that PyPI's being run as a one-man show, not as a community
resource.
While I may not agree on his choices regarding comments and ratings, I
don't feel this is fair to Martin. No one else, as far as I know, has
offered to step up and help with the maintenance of PyPI. I don't know
if Richard is still active, but the lack of response from him would
suggest not.
A test on your hypothesis would be to offer to help. I don't know who
has access to the server the software runs on, but ultimately any core
python committer can change the code in the subversion repository.
I did just actually have a look over the code and was happy to find it
was a lot simpler than I had feared but a bit dismayed at the style of
coding and total lack of unit tests ;-)
I might well be up for helping with the maintenance of PyPI if I'm
welcome, especially as I'm already familiar with a lot of the components
used, although I don't know how much time I can commit :-(
Martin, are you interested in help?
Chris
PS: While I'm sure a lot of python-dev people are interested in this
topic, I'm pretty sure this whole huge sprawling thread belongs on
catalog-sig...
