Description

After uploading a package with a name company.package_name to Gitea, resulting package saves under the name company-package-name.

I do not think that this is correct behavior, because pypi.org hosts packages with names such as zope.interface and 0-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-0.

Repro on try.gitea.io: https://try.gitea.io/rijenkii/-/packages/pypi/company-project-name/1.0.0

It seems that these characters are implicitly replaced with -:
e9cd18b557/routers/api/packages/pypi/pypi.go (L25)

Question is: god, why

@rijenkii commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2023):

I found the why:

https://peps.python.org/pep-0503/#normalized-names.

As per PEP 426 the only valid characters in a name are the ASCII alphabet, ASCII numbers, ., -, and _. The name should be lowercased with all runs of the characters ., -, or _ replaced with a single - character.

https://peps.python.org/pep-0426/#name

All comparisons of distribution names MUST be case insensitive, and MUST consider hyphens and underscores to be equivalent.

So, not a bug.
