Did I misunderstand/misinterpret the guidelines? The review is currently stalled due to the PyPI parity issue.
Should I approach PyPI folks myself and ask them to block vkbasalt-cli for me? Any kind of guidance is much appreciated.
Hi! Sorry for the silence.
It seems weird to ask PyPI admins to block a project that has working code, so what I would do is upload the project on PyPI, and tell the author that I'm happy to hand it over to him. Do you want me to do it?
Thanks for the offer. I think I'll be able to do that myself. I published on PyPI before.
Should the guidelines be clarified? I read the PyPI parity paragraph several times. While it feels weird reserving a name for an existing, yet unpublished package, it feels equally, if not more, weird to publish someone else's package without their explicit consent.
I'll proceed with it all the same. Without the package landing in Fedora, Bottles will be broken forever. And who likes to spill a nice drink? ;-)
