PyPI Packaging is out of date

[Jeff Dairiki]

The ​TracTags-0.7.tar.gz available on PyPI for ​TracTags 0.7 is older than what’s in tagsplugin/tags/0.7​. Specifically, the changes to setup.cfg, noted in #12281, have been applied to the svn version but are not in the PyPI sdist.

The upshot is that TracTags==0.7 will not install correctly from PyPI using buildout or easy_install (unless setuptools < 5.3.) Though the sdist is for version 0.7, tag-svn-revision causes the installed egg to have version 0.7.post0 (or 0.7-r0, depending on the setuptools version) which confuses buildout and makes revision pinning difficult.

AFAIKT, PyPI does not allow one to modify an uploaded file without changing the version, so I think the only real fix is to make a new release (e.g. 0.7.1.)

While I agree that it's bad practice to modify a tag, I opted for the practical approach in [14553], so that users at least have the option to install from the Subversion repository using setuptools. The 0.8 release is near, according to comment:3:ticket:12292.

Thanks!

As long as the next release is imminent, that’ll do. But if it gets delayed, I’d vote for and interim release. (It doesn't even have to be called 0.7.1 it could be, ​e.g., 0.7.post1.)

[Ryan J Ollos]

I'll publish a new release to PyPI if I don't hear any objections.

[Ryan J Ollos]

The release will resolve the following 16 tickets: #1304, #1344, #3660, #3891, #9064, #9797, #11661, #11690, #11695, #11888, #11950, #11954, #11968, #12202, #12292, #12434

I'll also resolve #12486 before making the release.

[Ryan J Ollos]

I'll copy the trunk to branches/0.8-stable after making the release. Development for 0.9 will drop support for Trac < 1.0, and the 0.8-stable branch will allow 0.8.x releases to be created for fixing critical issues.
