Open wesleybl opened 3 weeks ago
I would add @polyester here.
I think there is a process to "take over" PyPI community packages? Who knows details?
@wesleybl crap. I thought I had released it on pypi previously :( my bad.
BTW. In order to get a working python 3 release it really should have tests. Something I've started but haven't had a chance to finish and would welcome any help with. https://github.com/collective/collective.saml2/pull/11
The process is outlined in https://peps.python.org/pep-0541 As far as I can see it doesn't count as an invalid project unless somehow uploading from a fork is against the terms of use but it does count is discontinued if it can be demonstrated he is uncontactable. https://peps.python.org/pep-0541/#continued-maintenance-of-an-abandoned-project He's probably left that company but I haven't found another page for him yet. I'll try emailing him myself and if nothing open the request.
changing the name is a bad idea. it just creates confusion.
EDIT: request submitted https://github.com/pypi/support/issues/4196
The process is outlined in https://peps.python.org/pep-0541
@djay cool! I didn't know there was a process for this. However, it appears that it is not effective. I saw requests made over a year ago and they were not answered. Therefore I would still consider renaming the product.
Did you email the owner?
Yes you have to show proof of contact to submit the request
The name
collective.saml2
is in use in pypi:https://pypi.org/project/collective.saml2/
But it was not generated using collective code. It looks like it was generated using:
https://github.com/hai-bui-kkday/collective.saml2
The package that is in pypi today is broken. To see:
https://github.com/collective/collective.saml2/issues/12 https://github.com/hai-bui-kkday/collective.saml2/issues/1
@hai-bui-kkday, the owner of
collective.saml2
in pypi is missing from github. So I have no hope that he can add someone from the collective as a pypi maintainer.To place the collective code in pypi, the remaining option is to rename the product. I suggest
collective_saml2
. Another suggestion? Can anyone rename the product on github? I can make a PR by renaming the package.CC @djay @mauritsvanrees @ericof @davisagli @jensens
