Both the methods you suggest have been tried before and both have failed. "Forcing our pypi index, has the opposite problem, if there is a mayor security release, or something that unbreaks something that broke really bad (look for the Extremes package for an example of how it was broken in our pypi and fixed in regular pypi. Putting it into the quickstart has the problem that everyone with the current version of TG will get a broken build. Also it's conceptually wrong your app does not depend on SA 0.6.6. Turbogears does, more specifically repoze.what.plugins.sql therefore *TG* should have the restriction (at least until r.what is fixed) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
