Hi everyone,
I just updated the Zope 3.4 KGS with some new features.
1. You only need to upload the "controlled-packages.cfg" file now;
all other
files are generated.
2. The "controlled-packages.cfg" file now supports a name and
version option.
Thus, all generated files are versioned now. The unversioned version
of the
files refers to the latest one.
3. A new "links.html" file now lists all packages in one URL, so
that it is
suitable for the "find-links" option. (I have not tested this yet,
anyone?)
Nice.
4. A new "minimal/" folder now contains an index just of the
controlled
packages. This minimal index can be used by compoze as one
contributing
index. (I have not tested this yet, can anyone try this and report
how it can
be done?)
Very cool, thank you! I'll try this.
5. There is now an introduction page called "intro.html" that lists
all versions and files. It also explains how to use the files. See:
http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/intro.html
6. The KGS now supports extensions, meaning one KGS can build on
another. You
simply specify the "extend" option in the "[KGS]" section of the
controlled
packages configuration file. This should allow frameworks built on
top of
Zoep 3, like grok, to build their own KGS without much effort.
That said, I would really like for people to test all the features
and see
whether they work for them.
But most importantly, I would like for people to contribute to the
"Usage"
section of the introduction page!
Thanks to all for listening!
Note that if the KGS really wants to be a KGS (literally "known good",
it's a matter of semantics, not of technology):
- An invariant must be met that only one version of each package
should be present in the index.
- The set is frozen (no packages will be added to or removed from or
changed).
The first is true for what we have now neither of the "minimal" set or
the set you're calling the "KGS". The second I'm pretty sure is not
true of the thing you're calling the KGS (it still mirrors the
cheeseshop regularly), I'm not sure about the intent for the "minimal"
set.
