[BUG] mark python package as unmaintained/legacy
Finkregh opened this issue · 6 comments
Description
The python package at https://pypi.org/project/docker-compose/ should be marked as legacy/unmaintained or possibly even deleted.
Steps To Reproduce
compare https://pypi.org/project/docker-compose/ with https://github.com/docker/compose/blob/main/README.md?plain=1#L86
💯 the main question is "how to"? Without having a new release
Bogus release with just an Addition to the readme? 🤔
that's typically what we'd like to avoid.
python package manager unfortunately doesn't offer any way to mark a package as deprecated
Assuming this is to avoid people unintentionally installing a very old version, another method might be to actually publish the Go versions on PyPI as new versions. But not sure if that's worth it, because it would complicate the release process of Compose.
Why would you avoid a bogus release for the readme update?
Reference: pypi/warehouse#16844
Closing as "not planned" - until pypi offers a mechanism so we can deprecate/remove the legacy docker-compose package
