Incorrect "Latest" tag on CodeArtifact Package version [pypi]

Question

Hello All,

I am trying to download packages from my ABC(Source account) AWS Account's CodeArtifact and trying to upload those pypi packges into DEF AWS Account (Destination account).

Problem which I am facing here is, there is one package "me-test" in the ABC account's repository, this package has below verions.

1.0.8 [Latest]. <--- latest flag  
1.0.9  
1.0.10  
1.0.11

but when I upload the packges into the destination repository I am getting "latest" flag on "1.0.9". the expected flag should be on "1.0.8", I have tried deleting and reuploading the complete package, but no luck!

1.0.9 [Latest]. <--- latest flag  
1.0.8  
1.0.10  
1.0.11

I am trying the below method to do this  
  
STEP: 0 (Configure pip and twine)

```
aws codeartifact login --tool pip --domain "$DST_DOMAIN" --domain-owner "$DST_DOMAIN_OWNER" --repository "$DST_REPOSITORY" --region "$DST_REGION" --profile "$DST_PROFILE"
aws codeartifact login --tool twine --domain "$DST_DOMAIN" --domain-owner "$DST_DOMAIN_OWNER" --repository "$DST_REPOSITORY" --region "$DST_REGION" --profile "$DST_PROFILE"
```

STEP : 1 (List all the packages from the source repository)

```
packages=$(aws codeartifact list-packages --domain "$DOMAIN" --repository "$REPOSITORY" --domain-owner "$DOMAIN_OWNER" --region "$REGION" --profile "$PROFILE" --output "$OUTPUT" --upstream BLOCK --publish ALLOW| jq -r '.packages[].package')
```

STEP:2 (Itterrate over all packages and get their respective versions)

```
versions=$(aws codeartifact list-package-versions --domain "$DOMAIN" --repository "$REPOSITORY" --format "$FORMAT" --package "$package" --domain-owner "$DOMAIN_OWNER" --region "$REGION" --profile "$PROFILE" --output "$OUTPUT" | jq -r '.versions[].version' | sort -V)
```

STEP: 3 (Iterate over each version to get the asset files name)

```
assets=$(aws codeartifact list-package-version-assets --domain "$DOMAIN" --repository "$REPOSITORY" --format "$FORMAT" --package "$package" --domain-owner "$DOMAIN_OWNER" --region "$REGION" --profile "$PROFILE" --output "$OUTPUT" --package-version "$version" | jq -r '.assets[].name')
```

STEP: 4 (Iterate over each version and download the asset files)

```
aws codeartifact get-package-version-asset --domain "$DOMAIN" --domain-owner "$DOMAIN_OWNER" --repository "$REPOSITORY" --format "$FORMAT" --package "$package" --package-version "$version" --asset "$asset_name" --profile "$PROFILE" --region "$REGION" "$output_file_name"
```

Step 5: (Upload the downloaded file to the destination repository)

```
twine upload --repository codeartifact "$output_file_name"
```

Answer

Hello

I investigated about this issue and I would like to inform you that  you  can get the current latest version in source account by checking defaultDisplayVersion  in the list-package-versions command [1] output . Moreover you can  also get the published time from the describe-package-version command output  , for complete reference  please check [2] .

As suggested,  you need  to update the logic accordingly to either sort the package versions  by  published time and then deploy or opt to  deploy the version with latest tag at the end,  after  all other  version are uploaded .
