In the longer term, I do think we want to seriously consider shifting
Plone.org to be more of a selective Pypi scraper. We'd have to think
about how to best include the ultra-important Plone version
compatibility metadata, but I assume that with so many smart folks
running around, that is solveable.
It would be pretty simple to do this as a trove classifier:
classifiers = [
'Framework :: Plone :: 4.1',
'Framework :: Plone :: 4.2',
'Natural Language :: Dutch',
'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.6',
'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7',
]
that is exposed directly on the pypi UI and can be used as a search
key when searching for packages.
Actually looking at it, my nagger idea is the same if not harder to
extend PSC to pull in the classifiers as suggested by wiggy, and the
releases.
There is an xmlrpc interface defined here
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPiXmlRpc
For each product we define a sync view which looks up pypi for a
package of the same name and pulls in the any new releases +
classifiers.
Then we define a PSC global sync that does the whole lot, once per
night.
If this was done Alex would it still take awhile before plone.org PSC
could be upgraded?
The only issues I can see is that one massive transaction is likely to
be cause conflicts. And breaking it down to small transactions would
be best done via some kind of task queue :(
Also, is there a security issue if the same named package is owned by
two different people? or perhaps there needs to be an opt in the
plone.org side, e.g. a url to the pypi package to sync.
