TurboGears 2 packaging - it works! w/o auth
Status update on my TG2 packaging efforts:
-
I've formally adopted turbogears2 and turbojson. The versions I uploaded in experimental a couple of days ago fix all outstanding RC bugs, but are still uninstallable due to dependencies waiting for NEW (that's why I haven't uploaded them in unstable, FWIW).
-
I've made up my mind about prioritized_methods and shipped it as a contrib of PEAK-Rules, starting from version 0.5a1+r2582.1-1 (in NEW): it was just too tiny to deserve a package of its own. The main drawback is visible from its version number: to update prioritized_methods, the tarball needs to be repacked, bumping "upstream version".
-
Good news also from the Zope team: transaction and zope.sqlalchemy have been packaged (waiting in NEW).
With all that, yesterday for the first time, I was able to quickstart a project and run it using only Debian-packaged stuff. With a detail however: no auth support (yet), because that part actually needs Catwalk (and its deps) to implement the nifty admin interface. It looks like that that is the only remaining obstacle, and I'm working on it.
Update on my
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/:
Catwalk-2.0.2-py2.5.egg
sprox-0.5.5-py2.5.egg
tgext.admin-0.2.4-py2.5.egg
tgext.crud-0.2.4-py2.5.egg
tw.forms-0.9.3-py2.5.egg
PS as usual everything is available from my personal repo, testing and help are welcome
i added your zack-unstable to my sources.list(5) and apt_preferences(5), imported your GPG key, added experimental and unstable, and

thanks for your feedback!
Actually, with what you got installed, you can already quickstart tg2 apps, as long as you answer "no" when quickstart asks you about auth support.
Stay tuned for the rest!
Alas, no. I'm trying to follow along with the turbogears2 tutorial, and when i run paster setup-app development.ini it's missing zope.sqlalchemy. I noticed you said it's in experimen- tal/NEW, but i can't figure out how to get my hands on it (and the transaction package). I guess i can try to grab the sources and build myself, but i'm not that impatient
Thanks for all your work on this, and for vim et al.
Unfortunately there is no way to access directly the content on NEW (on purpose: packages at that step sill need to be reviewed by FTP masters to ensure they contain no problems of license or copyright).
But thanks for pointing out that zope.sqlalchemy and transaction are not in my repo. They are not because their packaging has been done by the Zope team and indeed I'm still using their easy_install-ed versions. I'll ask them to provide my working versions and upload them to my repo. Thanks for the heads-up!
