Hi,
There was a previous thread where this was brought up but nothing resolved.
Plugins these days tend to get released on plone.org OR pypi but not
always both.
This is confusing for inexperienced intergrators or end customers.
For instance looking at plone.org you'd think Products.PloneGlossary is
unmaintained
http://plone.org/products/ploneglossary
but if you look at pypi you realise it is maintained.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.PloneGlossary/1.5.0b3#b3-2011-07-15
There were some clever suggestions about how to fix this but none seems
particularly easy.
For instance make PSC mirror all the releases for software it manages
from pypi.
Anyone got a bright idea on how to fix this?
Easy fixes
==========
The easiest fix would be to disable/abandon plone.org/products, but I
don't think anyone wants to do that yet (including me).
The next easiest "fix" (which isn't really a fix) is to promote
dual-releases via mkrelease, releaser, etc.
Hard fixes
==========
As you mention, we could build some clever system to list PyPI entries
on plone.org. But I think the new http://opencomparison.org/ stuff
tackles some of this and I don't want to duplicate that effort.
But the hardest fix involves just being able to do *anything* on
plone.org right now. There are many ideas/tasks floating around; and I
know the board is actively seeking resolution(s); I hope some of these
will materialize between now and the end of the year:
* Upgrade plone.org to 4.2.x
* Create a plonetheme.ploneorg package to hold the "new" theme, and
factor it out of Products.PloneOrg
* Make releases for all dependencies and update the buildout, most of
this has been done and is reflected in
