[nova] dropping 2013.1 tag on pypi
Hi everyone, I've recently had some folks reach out who were quite confused by the fact that searching for 'nova' on pypi shows a 2013 release, and then hitting the correct path: https://pypi.org/project/nova/19.0.0/ shows that there is a new version available. I know usually deleting releases is a bit of a 'don't do this' thing, but in this case, that's a 6 year old unsupported/never-to-be-used again release and I think to make life easier for consumers, we should maybe drop it.

Wow, that *is* confusing. Yes, please delete the tag. (Note to other readers: Even with mnaser's instructions it took me a bit to find the "real" nova by expanding the "Release history" using the button on the left: https://pypi.org/project/nova/#history) efried On 5/31/19 10:19 AM, Mohammed Naser wrote:

We've been deleting any of the old date-based releases of official OpenStack deliverables from PyPI as we come across them. For projects which recently (re)started publishing releases there this may have been missed. At least in the case of nova it clearly was. I have manually deleted the 2013.1 release of nova from PyPI now. Don't hesitate to let me know if you spot anything similar on others and I'm happy to do the same to them as well. -- Jeremy Stanley
