[originally reported by Kalin KOZHUHAROV in bug 530764]

A 1.2.3 and a 1.2.4 tag appeared on the two github repos [1] a month ago, but the releases have not been announced on the ML [2] and there are no tarballs at the usual download location [3].

All this makes me a little suspicious, so I think we should first check with upstream that these releases are indeed official.

The way I understand it, pyside was Nokia's project and after Nokia got eloped, there's no real upstream for it.

At best, there are reanimation attempt, bordering on necromancy.

A bit unfortunate...

Maybe PySide will be resurrected:

It seems that both PyPI [1] and the official qt.io wiki [2] list 1.2.4 as the latest version. So I believe the release can be considered legit. However I do not see the tarball of shiboken-1.2.4 at [3].
