Sounds like this could be addressed with a lintian warning and a long transition time (~2 years) so leaving proper redirects around would be advisable.
Sure, but my point was that people will use the most easily discoverable pattern available, which currently is the download link from the package's PyPI page. If we want to make some other link more commonly used, it should be more easily discoverable.

Just to be clear, I don't fault folks for using the /packages/ urls. I was just trying to get some sort of idea if anyone actually used that url structure or not. I also don't plan on breaking anything for people who do. That being said, do you know if the Debian case requires something to be served at /packages/source/D/Django/ in order to locate a file at /packages/source/D/Django/Django-*.tar.gz? ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
