PEP 541 Request: gcil

[AdrianDC]

Project to be claimed

gcil: https://pypi.org/project/gcil

Your PyPI username

adriandc: https://pypi.org/user/adriandc/

Reasons for the request

I created gitlabci-local in 2020 : https://pypi.org/project/gitlabci-local/ Its alias "gcil" became more and more relevant throughout the last years.

The "gcil" package does not exist and never existed : https://pypi.org/project/gcil

To improve search results and naming conciseness, I migrated all sources towards "gcil" as the primary name. The "gitlabci-local" sources are ready to publish a final version, pointing to the new "gcil" package name.

The final deployment fails with this error, but couldn't identify a similar package, sounds unlikely bt is it possible the "gitlabci-local" package is detected as providing "gcil" ?

Failure : https://gitlab.com/RadianDevCore/tools/gcil/-/jobs/7562869287

WARNING  Error during upload. Retry with the --verbose option for more details. 
ERROR    HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/        
         The name 'gcil' is too similar to an existing project. See             
         https://pypi.org/help/#project-name for more information.   

Maintenance or replacement?

Replacement

Source code repositories URLs

Sources : https://gitlab.com/AdrianDC/gitlabci-local became https://gitlab.com/RadianDevCore/tools/gcil Deploy pypy : https://pypi.org/project/gitlabci-local/ would become https://pypi.org/project/gcil/

Contact and additional research

• I'm the owner of https://gitlab.com/AdrianDC/gitlabci-local
• The new new https://pypi.org/project/gcil/ does not exist yet
• The "gcil" word only points to my other tools : https://pypi.org/search/?q=gcil

Thanks !
