Claim package magic

[zoulasc]

Hi,

I am the owner/maintainer of the file(1) package for Unix which has python language bindings for libmagic(3). I distribute those bindings at:

https://pypi.org/project/file-magic/

I have tried to contact "jpetrone" [email protected] who owns the "magic" package, but have gotten no response. The package seems abandoned (not updated since 2003). What do I need to do next to reclaim it?

Thanks,

christos

The steps for abandoned projects are outlined in PEP 541.

Yes, so it is abandoned according to the criteria in PEP 541; the question is what do I need to do? I also sent mail to [email protected].

I'm sorry for the wait.

We have archived this repository since it's about the legacy PyPI codebase. There's a new support ticket queue and I ask that, if you are still interested in this request, you re-open your issue there so we can follow up.

We're working on implementing PEP 541 with a new process -- you can subscribe to pypi/warehouse#1506 to follow our progress. Once we do that, we'll start working through all the requests for package transfers within https://github.com/pypa/pypi-support/ .

Until then, unfortunately, all I can advise you to do is wait. My apologies.
