The problem

Date: 27 August 2024 at 14:15 EEST

The project PlexTraktSync has been deleted.

• Deleted by: twolaw with a role: owner.

If you have questions or concerns, you can email admin@pypi.org to communicate with the PyPI administrators.

Expected outcome

This makes package no longer installable via pipx method.

@simonc56 (formerly twolaw): can you comment this activity?

[simonc56]

Sorry, it's a mistake.
I wanted to delete my docker image (because duplicate of the official image) and did remove the PyPI project instead.

[glensc]

How did you end up pypi if you wanted to delete docker image? :)

Anyhow, wrote to admins, maybe they're able to undo the deletion.

Came here wondering what I was doing wrong, at least it's not me this time :D

[glensc]

Doesn't look like admins are able to undo the deletion. This is prompt if you try to delete a project

Delete project

Warning Deleting this project will:

• Irreversibly delete the project along with N releases
• Make the project name available to any other PyPI user

This user will be able to make new releases under this project name, so long as the distribution filenames do not match filenames from a previously released distribution (all PyPI distribution filenames are unique, as they are generated by combining the project name + version number + distribution type)

• I understand that I am permanently deleting all releases for this project.
• I understand that my users will no longer be able to install this project.
• I understand that I will not be able to re-upload any deleted versions.
• I understand that I am releasing this project name for use by any other PyPI user.
• I understand that I may not be able to re-register the project name under some circumstances.
• I understand that I will not be able to undo this.
• I understand that the PyPI administrators will not be able to undo this.

That's a lot of boxes to tick by accident :D

I tried to re-upload the last release, even package is deleted the name can't be reused. Rather weird.

I'm not allowed to upload. But it didn't ask for token, is twine error reporting bad or my token is really still valid?

[glensc]

OMG, GitHub action was able to upload the project with @Taxel token, thus re-created it:

• https://pypi.org/project/PlexTraktSync/

@Taxel: please add back me glensc as owner in pypi index:

• https://pypi.org/user/glensc/

Also, while at it, add me, glensc as Maintainer in GitHub as well:

• https://github.com/glensc

I'm not sure were able to reach @Taxel via these messages, may need community effort to reach him.
