When we tried changing pylons' (after moving to hg) we changed the url in setup.py and re- registered. Pypi started advertising that new url but never stopped advertising the old one. Clients get the dev urls from the pypi simple view, e.g. for WebHelpers: http://pypi.python.org/simple/WebHelpers So for whatever reason (probably the sort order on the simple page), with the option of two dev urls, easy_install kept going to the old broken one. To fix this we had to edit the old url out of every release registered on pypi until it was finally omitted from the simple page. -- Philip Jenvey --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
