how to generate an sdist generated without uploading it? about zest.releaser HOT 3 CLOSED

Note to self: I found following work-around:

in ~/.pypirc add a dummy entry:

[distutils]
index-servers = 
    dummy

[dummy]
repository = xxx
usrname = xxx
password= xxx

in setup.cfg on your package, avoid uploading to it

[distutils]
# cfr. http://zestreleaser.readthedocs.org/en/latest/uploading.html#pypi-configuration-file-pypirc
index-servers =

from zest.releaser.

Usually, you would at least have your account for pypi.python.org in there:

[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi

[pypi]
username:maurits
password:supersecret

I could look into checking if this can be made optional, to suit gocept.zestreleaser.customupload and friends.
