I’m trying to publish v0.1.0 of xbuild.
The release has been built and tagged successfully on Github: https://github.com/beeware/xbuild/releases/tag/v0.1.0
As part of the release workflow, the wheels have been successfully uploaded to Test PyPI. https://test.pypi.org/project/xbuild/0.1.0/
But - the workflow to upload the same wheels to Production PyPI fail, because “the filename is already in use”: https://github.com/beeware/xbuild/actions/runs/17602971945/job/50008486928
But there’s no 0.1.0 release on PyPI https://pypi.org/project/xbuild/#history
And, to the best of my knoweldge, there never has been (certainly not as a result of anything I've done).
Was there a previous owner of this name on PyPI?
Not that I'm aware of... is there any way to check that?
I'm not aware of anyway to check now deleted uploads under a PyPI project
It might be in the XML-RPC API, but it would probably take a long time (and be expensive?) to iterate through all of the releases
Based on https://clickpy.clickhouse.com/dashboard/xbuild it looks like there may have been a previous owner?
@glad sparrow Is that suggesting that the project existed in some form pre 2023?
Based on that data... it smees to suggest there were 203 downloads on the 31 of August 2025... which is 6 days before I published the first version...
Is it tracking attemped downloads, or actual downloads?
Ahha!
It did exist. v0.1.0 - 0.1.6 were uploaded in 2023!
@glad sparrow Thanks for that lead!
