Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago
This is problematic: since the only link available on the googlecode page is
the latest one, each time you release a new version you break all the automatic
build systems depending on the previous version.
For instance I'm using a buildout which was depending on python-twitter 0.6.
Setuptool/Distribute was able to retrieve the 0.6 tar.gz because it was able to
parse the googlecode page a find a link to the 0.6 package. Since 0.8.1, the
only link available is 0.8.1 and my buildout is broken.
There a several solutions :
* publish all your new versions on PyPI
* if you don't want to bother doing this, release just a new version with the
HomePage metadata containing a link to a page with all available versions : the
current link is http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/ , you should add a
link to http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/downloads/list
Thanks,
Christophe

Christophe,
All past versions are listed on the downloads page at:
http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/downloads/list
Previous versions will be maintained on pypi so that buildout and other systems
like pip will continue to work should they depend on older versions.

I have updated PyPI to have the most recent distribution and am now able to
update it as I push new distributions.
