So, upstream does indeed provide a URL redirector so we can use a predictable URL scheme without hashes. The new URL scheme is:
https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/p/positional/positional-1.1.0.tar.gz
Upstream also plans to support the redirector for the long term [0], so I believe switching to it in all the spec files our best move.
Maybe it would be beneficial to also work the change into the RPM rebase-helper [1] which does automatic scratch builds when a new version of software is detected upstream? Does anyone have experience with this project?
