Release on github and PyPI
stratakis opened this issue · 15 comments
Currently the project is not released on PyPI nor it has a tarball in github. Is it possible to create a tarball release?
You can get the zip or tarball via these links:
https://github.com/DMTF/python-redfish-library/archive/master.zip
https://github.com/DMTF/python-redfish-library/archive/master.tar.gz
That said, providing the package on the PyPI site would be useful as well. Looking over the repo, the only issue I immediately see is that there is a package name conflict with an existing PyPI package. The top-level package defined here in DMTF/python-redfish-library is named redfish. And the following package on PyPI already provides a package named redfish:
Hmm interesting. That poses the question if one of the upstreams should change its name. Definitely that would pose some conflicts in regards to downstream packaging (and not only).
Currently the README here says you can install this by pip install python-redfish-library. Since there's no release on PyPI, that doesn't work.
Any progress on being able to use pip?
2/15: @jautor is currently working with the original tool's owner... Hopefully we'll get an answer shortly (and be able to publish it)...
Still not on PyPi and my work build system depends on being able to pull from there. Is there an update on this?
TIA!
3/15: @jautor is trying to get a response from the tool's owner; we'll think of alternatives in the meantime in case the owner is still unresponsive.
Any movement yet?
TIA,
Bump :)
Any updates here? Would love to get this in PIP.
Discussion from 5/24: Will attempt to publish to PIP as is (despite the conflict not being able to be resolved). We cannot change the package name used since other communities are using this. We also still have not been successful about working with the other library's owner to fix the conflict. We will also update the readme to state that such a conflict exists, and a user can only have one package installed at a time.
Thank you for the followup.
Took a while to resolve this... But you can get this with pip now (for both Python2 and Python3): pip install redfish
Closing; finally released...
