Hi, I just went ahead and removed all non-binary eggs for packages not hosted in the svn.turbogears.org repo from the /site-resources tree in SVN and updated the website. I tested installation, and everything works still fine, sine these packages will get picked up from PyPI.
The advantage is that if newer packages are available on PyPI they will be be picked up automatically. Atm, since we use the "-f http://files.turbogears.org"; option to easy_install in tgsetup.py, easy-install will always pick up the latest version of a package from files.turbogears.org, even if a newer package is available through PyPI. The only theoretical problem I see is when TG has a specific dependency on an older version of a package and the download URL for that package on PyPI does not allow easy_install to find this old version. But I specifically checked that the versions of packages, which I deleted from files.turbogears.org, can be found through PyPI. If there is any problem, we can still resurrect the packages from SVN. The only non-binary eggs on turbogears.org are now those for packages that are in our own SVN repository. I would like to remove them as well, but we should first check whether they are all available through PyPI. The only ones I found which are not uploaded to PyPI are Lightbox, DOMInclude and Scriptaculous (but there is a newer version of the last one on PyPI). These packages are not critical, but currently the only way to get them is from turbogears.org. I created ticket for those: http://trac.turbogears.org/ticket/1775 http://trac.turbogears.org/ticket/1776 Shall I go ahead and delete the other non-binary eggs? Do we need to upload all old versions of those packages to PyPI? What about TurboGears eggs themselves? I suppose we don't have all versions available on turbogears.org uploaded to the cheeseshop yet?
