Forwarding from pypa-dev. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Warehouse update: recent progress Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 22:32:45 -0500 From: Sumana Harihareswara <sh@changeset.nyc> To: pypa-dev@googlegroups.com Happy new year! After the late-December holiday season, the Warehouse team had a meeting and followup chats last week to discuss the first milestone, the MVP for package maintainers to try Warehouse and give feedback.[0] Full notes from a January 10th meeting and its followups are on the PSF wiki.[1] Highlights from that meeting and related work in the last week and change: * A number of items were blocked on Nicole Harris's availability -- she's the designer working on our front-end views. We sorted out things she needs and are making better progress on those now. * Donald wrote to distutils-sig[2] about removing OpenID/Google login support for PyPI.[3] * Ernest and Nicole are working on a maintainer views meta-issue to "Classify, describe, and share the *current* functionality implemented by PyPI to assist contributors while developing warehouse's maintainer UI."[4] * The Warehouse roadmap, which previously only lived in GitHub milestone descriptions, is now all in one wiki page for easier reading and linking.[5] * Dustin has been working on adding the ability for a project owner to add/remove roles for their projects.[6] * Ernest has been continuing to work on deployment infrastructure, which is getting more robust and resilient. * We've created, reviewed, improved, and/or merged several other pull requests to Warehouse and related projects. In particular, development is now getting easier, as we have an SMTP service for development[7] and a better Makefile[8], and are getting better testing instructions.[9] We are incrementally getting a clearer picture of what work is left in this milestone so I can get you an estimate of when the Maintainer MVP will be. And Warehouse continues to get easier to hack on; feel free to join us on Freenode in case you want any help as you poke around the Warehouse code![10] [0] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/milestone/8 [1] https://wiki.python.org/psf/PackagingWG/2018-01-10-Warehouse [2] https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2018-January/031855.html [3] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/61 [4] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2734 [5] https://wiki.python.org/psf/WarehouseRoadmap [6] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/2705 [7] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/2709 [8] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/2728 [9] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/2758 [10] https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23pypa-dev -- Sumana Harihareswara Changeset Consulting https://changeset.nyc
