[Python-apps-team] Bug#884649: twine: trying to use testpypi w/ --repository-url results in upload to regular pypi

[Felix C. Stegerman]

Package: twine
Version: 1.8.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to upload a package to TestPyPI [1]:

  $ twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*

results in twine uploading it to the *regular* PyPI.

There's a bug in the --repository-url handling, which is fixed
upstream [2].

For now, using:

  $ twine upload --repository pypitest dist/*

works.

It'd be nice to get the upstream fix though.  Someone might
accidentally upload a package to PyPI instead of TestPyPI if they use
the same credentials for both.

Thanks.

- Felix
