[lxml-dev] did windows binary versions ever get removed from the cheeseshop?

[Martijn Faassen]

Hi there,

To start off, I'm not 100% sure on this, so I'm just checking.

I thought at some stage I had a working windows installation of my 
software that was using lxml 1.3 binaries (not 1.3.1 or something, just 
1.3). When I tried again today it didn't work anymore, and instead had 
to start using lxml 1.3.4 (for instance).

Is it possible that someone for some reason removed the versions for 1.3 
from the cheeseshop? If so, my general recommendation would be never to 
do this, even if the packages are broken somehow. A release is a 
release, and people might be depending on it. For this reason, never 
remove release files, and also never overwrite release files.

Anyway, I'm not at all sure this actually happened with lxml, but I'm 
just writing this to make sure it won't happen. :)

Regards,

Martijn
