Hey
As Marc-André suggested, it would be a good thing to move the bootstrapping file to :https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute_setup.py +1
I need to do something similar for buildout bootstrap files. How are you accomplishing this?
By POSTing a multipart/form-data, like what the upload command does for sdists : http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/0f827775f7b7/Lib/distutils/command/upload.... I can write a small script that does it (bascially rip off upload.upload_file() and remove the part about the metadata) We could also write a custom sdist that does this, with an extra_dist_files, but oh well.. :)
so we can use the PSF certificate and provide a better security scheme Yay!
I guess we can do the change in zc.buildout and distribute and once it's working, add a permanent redirect on the old address You mean from the old to the new?
yeah
That'll also take care of the bad uptimes I have on my cheap server
Any concerns ? Not from me.
Jim
