As far as I can tell, it is currently impossible to install from the turbogears site without hacking of setup scripts beyond my ken.
I would say this is a serious issue, as it seems there is no backup install plan beyond the main download page. tg-setup is not working, and the download instructions mention the possibility of downloading files individually, with a link back to the same page that has ... tg-setup. I can't find these other files.I can get an older egg by changing the beta number, but have no idea how to do anything with only the egg or how to tell tg-setup to use that egg. This is, IMHO, a bad problem for Gears adoption. Nobody can tell when they will have to deploy in a hurry, and certainly it will turn people right off from the framework if they are stuck with no viable way of downloading other past versions of other mirrors. Should there perhaps not be a sourceforge page with a wack of options including every old version available for easy download? If there exists a list of mirrors to previous releases, it's not mentioned on the main site in the download section. I realize this is "beta" software and you get the risks with the rewards, but IMHO the situation right now is crazy. It should never be impossible to revert to an older known working version, and for software intended for "rapid development" I think contingency plans are necessary. Sorry for the rant. I really like the way gears works. But I'm having very bad deployment experiences right now which are making me wonder if this is viable for a business option. I'm somewhat floored with how problematic it has been getting gears code that was working fine on one machine to work on another. :/ Thanks for listening!
