zope.contenttype on PyPI is messed up
Can somebody please fix zope.contettype on PyPI? We had a 3.5.0 release, and somebody uploaded a 3.4.3 release which should have been 3.5.1. I don't have the rights for it. Best regards, Fabio

What makes you think it should have been 3.5.1? The changelog says: "Updated mime-type for .js to be application/javascript." In the code the declaration changed from "application/x-javascript" to "application/javascript". I'd let that pass as a bugfix. The work was done on a new maintenance branch for the 3.4 version and all the checkins conformed to all our policies. Releasing bugfixes for older versions is all good and fine. Hanno

I think the issue here is that releasing 3.4.3 hides the newer 3.5.0 release (PyPI does that by default). Any admin can go to a very-well-hidden PyPI view (the link for which is not available, thanks to the new "your package list is truncated" feature of PyPI) http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=pkg_edit&name=zope.contenttype and therein un-hide the 3.5.0 release. I've done so now, assuming that people would like to see the _latest_ version of a package on PyPI. I don't know if 3.4.3 should be hidden or not, so I left it alone.

But you have to take care not to hide older releases of newer versions. Marius Gedminas -- http://pov.lt/ -- Zope 3 consulting and development
