[17:59:57] <toad_polo> Now that the "register" command doesn't do anything, is there a way to reserve a name on PyPI without actually uploading anything?

[18:00:22] <toad_polo> I've got a package that isn't quite ready for prime time, but I've already published the repo, so I don't want anyone squatting the PyPI name.

[20:29:04] <njs> toad_polo: pretty sure you have to upload something, possibly a package with nothing but a 3 line setup.py

[20:30:31] <njs> toad_polo: or I guess you could publish it for real with a pre-release version number

[20:31:00] <toad_polo> njs: I'd rather not publish anything. It definitely used to be possible.

[20:31:14] <toad_polo> Maybe I can publish an empty package then delete the release.

[20:38:33] <ngoldbaum> toad_polo: i'm pretty sure you need to upload a dummy package at least

[20:39:16] <sumanah> toad_polo: yes we took out the "Register" functionality

[20:40:01] <sumanah> toad_polo: so yeah -- assuming you're talking about PyPI -- now you need to upload something in order to claim a project name

[20:40:45] <sumanah> toad_polo: yeah, publish a pkg and delete it

[20:41:06] <sumanah> toad_polo: https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2082 is about the ability to reserve a name

[20:41:33] <sumanah> in case you want to comment there
