Tests missing from the archive

[jtojnar]

Looks like the tests are still missing in https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/p/pyexcel-xls/pyexcel-xls-0.5.8.tar.gz.

See also pyexcel/pyexcel-io#60

MANIFEST.in will include tests but the change was made 8 months ago. But v0.5.8 was released in 2018 and ever since, I have not updated the package.

Do you need tests for something?

[jtojnar]

Just like python-lml/lml#9, I am packaging pyexcel for a linux distro (NixOS/nixpkgs#96483) and would like to run the tests to increase our certainty things are okay.

[chfw]

sure and thanks for spreading the love. I will make one release with tests.

Tests folder seems to be there?

[chfw]

but the file you mentioned, indeed, does not have the tests. I will cook up v0.5.9 from master branch

[jtojnar]

https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-xls/archive/0.5.8.tar.gz is just a snapshot of the Git repo, distros are typically getting python packages from PyPI https://pypi.org/project/pyexcel-xls/#files

[chfw]

Do you still need 0.5.9 with tests?

[jtojnar]

It would be very useful but we can also package it without tests until you are ready to release a new version.

[chfw]

The next release will be 0.6.0 if it is not urgent.

Pyexcel-io v0.6.0 is under development so soon all its plugins will get an upgrade to 0.6.0 line.

[chfw]

a maintenance version is produced here: https://pypi.org/project/pyexcel-xls/0.5.9/
