I try to deploy to PyPI on tags. The documentation suggests that `on: tags: true` will trigger deployments when a tagged commit is pushed.  
Here’s a snippet from my `travis.yml`:

```
deploy:

 - provider: script
   script: SSHPASS=$DEPLOY_PASS sshpass -e scp -v -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $PROJECT_DIR/artifacts/debian/* $DEPLOY_USER@$DEPLOY_HOST:shepherd/debian/
   skip_cleanup: true

 - provider: pypi
   user: $PYPI_USER
   password: $PYPI_PASS
   on:
     tags: true
     all_branches: true

```

I’m pushing with: `git push origin --tags`  
Here’s a link to the build: [https://travis-ci.org/geissdoerfer/shepherd/jobs/559649862](https://travis-ci.org/geissdoerfer/shepherd/jobs/559649862)

Did I miss something?

[I see that the sdist was successfully uploaded](https://travis-ci.org/geissdoerfer/shepherd/jobs/559649862#L5227-L5229), and [the file is available at PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/shepherd-herd/#files).

According to [https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pypi/#uploading-different-distributions](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pypi/#uploading-different-distributions) (and [confirmed by source](https://github.com/travis-ci/dpl/blob/master/lib/dpl/provider/pypi.rb#L20)), you need to specify `distributions:` if you wish to upload something else.

Thanks for pointing that out. Indeed the upload to PyPI wasn’t working at some stage and then I focussed on the warning `Skipping a deployment with the script provider because this branch is not permitted: v0.0.8` without actually checking on PyPI.  
Everything working as expected now.
