@ -26,6 +26,10 @@ In addition, this PEP proposes removing support for new uploads of sdists using
the ``.tar``, ``.tar.bz2``, ``.tar.xz``, ``.tar.Z``, ``.tgz``, ``.tbz``, and
any other extension besides ``.tar.gz`` and ``.zip``.
Finally, this PEP also proposes limiting the number of allowed sdist uploads
for each individual release of a project on PyPI to one instead of one for each
allowed extension.
Rationale
=========
@ -193,6 +197,22 @@ format also uses zip.
Instead of trying to standardize on either ``.tar.gz`` or ``.zip``, this PEP
proposes that we allow *either* ``.tar.gz`` or ``.zip`` for sdists.
Limiting number of sdists per release
-------------------------------------
A sdist on PyPI should be a single source of truth for a particular release of
software. However, currently PyPI allows you to upload one sdist for each of
the sdist file extensions it allows. Currently this allows something like 10
different sdists for a project, but even with this PEP it allows two different
sources of truth for a single version. Having multiple sdists often times can
account for strange bugs that only expose themselves based on which sdist that
the person used.
To resolve this, this PEP proposes to allow one, and only one, sdist per
release of a project.
