Description Bearcat M. Şándor 2017-01-29 21:38:42 UTC
The files that gs-pypi provides are very outdated. For instance, Mopidy is at version 1.1.1, whereas the version on pypi.org is at 2.1.0.  It appears that the repository at https://github.com/jauhien/gs-pypi-db/ is not being updated and it's a year old.

In the bug filed at https://github.com/jauhien/gs-pypi/issues/10 it's suggested to do the dbupdate by hand, but this brings down all of the package data and that essencially does what is strongly reccomended against on the gs-pypi man page.

Can we have the ebuild just by-pass the git repo that is no longer maintained and perform this local dbupdate but have it read the packages list that have been put into /etc/g-sorcery/g-sorcery.cfg.

Or is gs-pypi dead and we should just make regular ebuilds for the things that we want?
