We could in the meantime provide the eggs for download off a Wiki looking pages as we do for snapshot builds so, for those who want them, they're not impossible to find in a user digestible form.

Just as an FYI, running "setup.py register bdist_egg upload" in a project directory will register the project with the Python Cheeseshop and upload an egg. There is a "long_description" field that can be set in the setup script, and this is uploaded to the project's cheeseshop page. For example, see setuptools' Cheeseshop page:

    http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/setuptools

The only concern I have with this is that we have not reached api stability so I would have to manage the Cheeseshop eggs just like I manage the current binary tarballs. Otherwise we would see someone trying to install an egg built for 0.7alpha4 in the dogfood 0.6 release.

I was talking about distributing stable plugin releases, not about development ones. In any case, however, we can have the released parcels specify what version of Chandler they require (down to the SVN revision if necessary, so long as the PKG-INFO file is installed by the Chandler binary release).

Thus, trying to install the plugins with the wrong (or no) version of Chandler using easy_install will produce an error message saying that easy_install can't find a "Chandler 0.7" egg (or whatever version is required).

In any case, I was commenting only on Philippe's statement that we might put the downloads up on a wiki page, noting that we can get the same effect on a somewhat more automated basis.

Very true, I jumped a couple of steps ahead in my reply - what you said above would work fine.

thanks for clarifying my point better than I would have ;)
