Hi there,
Python eggs and zc.buildout are playing a major role in Zope world -
both for development and deployment. PyPI right now is apparently a
single-point-of-failure. Although the availability of PyPI become
much better over time, the complete infrastructure is not highly
available which is crucial when you are doing commercial development.
What is the perspective for addressing this issue? I have seen that
Ingeniweb maintains/maintained a PyPI mirror (does not seem to be
up2date).
There's also one at http://download.zope.org/simple/
What is the current recommended way for building a (private) mirror?
There's a project at http://svn.zope.org/
zc.mirrorcheeseshopslashsimple/ for mirroring the pypi index data.
In terms of reducing risk, I think that zc.sourcerelease is also
relevant, because it lets you make a self-contained snapshot of an
application's source, with all of the eggs used. If you need to
deploy an application, you can use a source release, or a binary
release built from it, without any need to talk to a package index.
