sorry i didn't get back earlier. Before the minor release of devpi-server
last week i tried for two hours to change devpi-server to accomodate
your planned pypi.python.org checksum changes.
I found the change cannot easily be done without changes to the underlying
database schema and thus needs a major new release of devpi-server because
an export/import cycle is needed. When doing that i also want to do
some internal cleanup related to name normalization (and also relating
to recent pypi.python.org changes) but i need a week or two i guess to
do that. However i now think that if you do the pypi.python.org checksum
change it shouldn't directly break devpi-server but it would remove
checksum checking. I'd rather like to have a new major devpi-server
release out when you do the change. Is it ok for you to wait a bit still?
best,
holger
