Missing metadata.json in 19.8.x whl packages

[JonathanHuot]

Hi,
We're using jFrog Artifactory to store gunicorn packages, basically it hosts a private pypi repository on-premise. However, when uploading latest gunicorn to it, a metadata.json containing pkg info is missing.

This file is missing only for latest releases 19.8.0 and 19.8.1. I tested 19.7.1 and the file was present.

E.g.

$ pip download gunicorn==19.7.1 gunicorn==19.8.1
(..)
$ unzip gunicorn-19.7.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
(..)
$ ls -l gunicorn-19.7.1.dist-info/

You will notice DESCRIPTION.rst is missing, too. It will be great if we can have them back. Do you have changed your deployment instructions recently ?

Thanks

Looks like the Metadata-Version has been updated from 1.1 (PEP314) to 2.1 (PEP566). Probably due to an update of the deployment tools. Some others have raised the same behavior pypa/twine#341

I'm looking forward to the jFrog Artifactory issue then.

Sorry for the noise.
