Moving distribute_setup.py
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 so we can use the PSF certificate and provide a better security scheme 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 That'll also take care of the bad uptimes I have on my cheap server Any concerns ?

+1 I need to do something similar for buildout bootstrap files. How are you accomplishing this?

Yay!

Sounds good to me. See release.py in the root of distribute which uploads that file as part of the release process. It would be nice if that continues to work after the move. How is access controlled to that resource?

So what will need to be done is to tweak release.py so it does a POST if the file using the user in .pypirc I can isolate that feature, as I said in the previous mail -- Tarek Ziadé · http://ziade.org · @tarek_ziade

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.. :)

Hm. I just tried to do this with ez_setup.py for setuptools, and PyPI's complaining that a .py file isn't a valid distribution. (I'm using the web interface, not the upload command, but same basic idea.) AFAICT, we'll need the PyPI admins to implement support for .py uploads for this to work.

Actually, there's another potential problem I just thought of. Normally, PyPI rejects repeated uploads of the same filename, so updating these could be a problem, unless there's an option to replace an existing file. (Because versioned bootstrap scripts would mean we can't give out a canonical URL to download the "current version" of a project.)
