berlios, sourceforge like, now use prdownloads system, like sourceforge.
setuptools fail to find eggs, because it tries to download on "prdownload" which serves only html page with mirrors.
package_index.py need a fix_berlios_url (or perhaps a more generic fix_forges_url with a list of translations)
Sigh. I was really hoping sourceforge were the only ones that did this. However, Sourceforge at least has a round-robin DNS for their mirrors now. I suggest finding out if there is a similar setup for berlios. I say this because I'm not going to add any more screen-scraping code to easy_install to figure out what mirrors are available. URL translation, *maybe*. But trying to discover Sourceforge mirrors by screenscraping tricks was a bad idea and the code to do it is long gone. I would suggest to the package author that PyPI hosting is quite convenient; they are clearly already running "python setup.py bdist_egg", and uploading to PyPI simply makes the command be this instead: python setup.py register bdist_egg upload If you want to also upload the source, add "sdist" before the "upload". It is possible that some day the cheeseshop will be bogged down for uploads, but presumably people will step up to provide mirrors for it in that event.
