Hello, Could someone enlighten me which hoops I have to jump through this year in order to keep pip downloads working?
Stefan,
I know you're not happy with myself and the other distutils-sig folks regarding the decision to deprecate and remove automatic link spidering, nor with the PSF regarding the current Terms of Service around uploads to PyPI, but that doesn't make it OK to start off-topic threads on python-dev just because you're a CPython core developer in addition to being a PyPI user.
It definitely doesn't make it OK to accuse people of conspiring against you when they answer your question in good faith, just because their answer is the official distutils-sig/PyPA one (which was approved through the PEP process in PEP 470).
Depending on which aspect is most bothering you right now, potential courses of action worth pursuing include:
writing to psf-legal to let them know whether or not Van Lindberg's draft updates to the Terms of Service would be sufficient to make you comfortable with uploading cdecimal to PyPI in addition to bundling it with the standard library under your existing Contributor Licensing Agreement: https://bitbucket.org/vanl/pypi/src/default/templates/confirm.pt
writing to distutils-sig to see what opportunities exist to assist with the migration from the fragile legacy PyPI codebase to the new Warehouse implementation (which is a technical debt reduction activity currently blocking a lot of other enhancements to the PyPI ecosystem)
writing to the PSF Board asking us to increase the PSF's level of investment in PyPI infrastructure support (while we're already aware of that need, we're also the right venue to escalate these kinds of concerns for folks that don't have the time or inclination to get directly involved in improving the situation themselves)
Regards, Nick.
