I'd prefer ro configure it on the server, once per project. But I'd  
take either. :)



Yes, it's
possible to have multiple releases visible now, but PyPI makes it
unnecessarily tedious.


And if you do, you lose the nice project home page.  (You still have  
a home page per release, but then it can't use a simple URL to point  
to it.)

Performance is certainly one reason; PyPI gets its share of aggressive crawlers.

Another issue is that PyPI isn't all that interesting for deploying
production applications; we need to be able to rely on getting the
same set of releases when re-deploying, and we can't do that if
someone else is able to hide/remove releases (or the associated
downloads), so for longer-term reliability, we all need to maintain a
repository of at least the things we expect to be able to get again.


pipy already has the infrastructure for some proper searching and
management for package maintainers - so not sure that the wheel needs to
be invented.

Hi Martin. Cheeseshop does this already. You can see how a nice overview 
page is constructed by putting readme.txt with readme.txt release notes 
in setup.py as restructured text. This is available on some zope 
packages but also the zif packages on pipy.


See zif.headincludes in the cheeseshop as an example of how this works 
for a nice web page explaining the package.


I am not sure why there are two resources for obtaining eggs myself, not 
sure if it is because pipy gets busy. Should the default be pipy or will 
this slow buildouts? Maybe all packages could be put there in any case 
even if primary dependency link for zope packages is download.zope.org. 
Maybe this just adds to the headache of releases to have more than a 
single location.


pipy already has the infrastructure for some proper searching and 
management for package maintainers - so not sure that the wheel needs to 
be invented. Actually, I thought the way this was all going to unfold 
was with the ZF website which I think is still being worked on. Many thanks.

Hi there,

I'm interested in adding a dependency on z3c.widget, and in particular 
z3c.widget.tiny, in an application I'm available. In the svn checkins I 
see a comment by dobe saying:


buildout and egg, clean imports

This implies to me there might be an tgz that buildout/easy_install can 
use available somewhere. But where? I cannot find it in the cheeseshop, 
nor in download.zope.org/distribution.


Is it available somewhere else? Or should I upload a version of it myself?

Regards,

Martijn

P.S. Visibility of Zope 3 extensions would be increased greatly if we 
could have an overview page per extension on zope.org somewhere. It 
would of course include the canonical download link as well. I think we 
can accomplish this relatively quickly with a fairly low-tech project, 
but we need a volunteer. Anyone?

Sort of like cheeseshop? BTW, why aren't the Zope packages on
cheeseshop to start with?


Many of the zope packages have been minimally eggified.  I personally  
don't want to see packages appear in the cheeseshop until their meta  
data has been filled out and have documentation that either shows up  
in the cheeseshop or is linked from there.


I'm also finding it challenging to manage eggs in the cheeseshop.   
The cheeseshop makes it really hard to publish multiple versions and  
multiple versions need to be accessable to buildout so that versions  
can be frozen.  I wish we had our own tool that we could link to from  
the cheesehop, but, of course, I don't have time to write it.  I  
guess I should request cheeseshop enhancements.
