Yes, --find-links is the way tg_setup works. It's basicly a wrapper around easy_install adding --find-links and some other options. The problem was/is that people try easy_install Turbogears and it fails. It seems that with 1.0.4b2 atleast it works fine. I think that we should get rid of tg_setup in favor for easy_install. This means we have to have dependencies that are stable and easy_install'able, which is something we should do anyway IMHO. > At that point packages can be collected in a subdirectory along with > the source, or they can be placed on a generic website somewhere > with a layout that setuptools groks.
