Moving to packaging.python.org as the canonical Python packaging standards reference

[pradyunsg (Pradyun Gedam)]

This has been something we’ve wanted to do for a while, and it’s not happened yet. I wanna chart a path onward to getting us there, now that Packaging PEPs | peps.python.org is a thing.

AFAICT, this means that we should:

• Resolve Ensure that all current Python packaging interoperability standards are on packaging.python.org · Issue #1093 · pypa/packaging.python.org · GitHub, moving all the PEP content into reference pages on packaging.python.org
• Update all the relevant PEPs so that users can get to the corresponding standard page on packaging.python.org
• Update references in various tools’ documentation to point to the standards pages, instead of the PEPs.

Are there any broad strokes concerns with this plan?

Are there any broad strokes concerns with this plan?

None from me, other than the usual “I’m pretty sure this has been the plan for ages now, but no-one has had the time to actually do the work”
