Re: [HTCondor-users] HTCondor bindings 24.11.2 yanked from pypi - why?

[Jeff Templon <templon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim, 

Thanks!  Iâll check it.  While youâre at it, this one needs revamping too, although for this one, itâs obvious (or seems so!!) that itâs out of date.

Hello Jeff,

I updated the online documentation to clearly indicate which releases are LTS and which are feature in the side-bar. I still have some work to do on the text descriptions of the version numbers.

Thank you for pointing out where we need more clarity in the documentation.

Hi Guys

Thanks for this explanation.  I think the problem is that depending on where you look in the documentation, you get a different idea about what the situation {is | should be}.  The statement Tim gave is very clear and if I had gleaned this from the documentation, I would have known what to do.  I had requested a htcondor binding identical to our condor version N.M.X all three digits, because one of our team had understood that there was otherwise no guarantee, and what was in the documentation seemed to soften that statement a bit, but not much.

The OTHER thing that is MUCH more confusing, is that despite the documentation in one place agreeing with you about feature vs. LTS releases, in other places, many more releases are labelled LTS and that list almost matches what is in PyPi but not quite.  Can you see the attached image, where it shows the huge amount of LTS releases in the 24 series, one of which is the version that got removed from PyPi??  With this kind of inconsistency in the documentation, itâs hard to know what the right thing to do is :-). Please fix this to be consistent with the policy and the âIntroduction to HTCondor Versionsâ explanation.

Hopefully given that we require some binary files and are an active open source project, PyPI will grant our request.  Albeit we will still have a limit, a larger limit will allow us to hold older versions for a longer period of time...
