Left field, I wonder if we could use something like test.pypi.org?
Good point. Last time I checked it wasn't possible to programmatically delete old packages to avoid wasting resources for nightly builds. I cannot find a deletion action in the API docs: https://warehouse.readthedocs.io/api-reference/ But maybe test.pypi.org has some specific built-in retention policy that would work for us? I tried to google a bit and it's not how long it keeps artifacts around. Also I do not know if the test instance is meant to be reliable enough to share nightly-build artifacts between the continuous integration servers for numpy, scipy and their dependencies. If it's not available enough it might trigger annoying random CI failures. -- Olivier
