https://pypi.org/project/subunit/ is confusing

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

https://pypi.org/project/subunit/ exists and is basically a distribution of some version of python-subunit, annotated as `0.0.0a0`. If a project asks for "subunit" then it will get that project - not https://pypi.org/project/python-subunit/ which appears to be the official project presence on pypi.

Since https://pypi.org/project/subunit/ is _some_ version of subunit this mistake is not immediately apparent but since that pypi presence doesn't appear to be actively maintained (let alone by the upstream python-subunit maintainers) it's a bad idea for any project to actually go ahead and use it.

The uploader is https://launchpad.net/~tagrain and has offered to hand off control of the pypi project to someone who wants to sort out the situation.

Does someone?

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

So it seems like we'd need to keep both the 'subunit' and 'python-subunit' names up to date (at least for a while). We can either upload subunit to both (but would have to keep doing that for future releases), or have one be a dummy distribution that depends on the other?

I personally prefer "subunit" as primary package since "python-" seems a bit redundant, but I think Robert originally named it "python-subunit" and that's what everything is using today.
